These are the chip's own figures, kept in this site's registry and the same whoever rents it out. A provider's feed is trusted for its prices, its GPU counts and the memory it states per card, never for what the board is. There is no speed score on this page: bandwidth is a published number, and turning it into a benchmark would be inventing one.
Every provider renting the L40
Cheapest per GPU-hour first. The rate is for one GPU for one hour, so a node of eight sits beside a single card at a comparable number, with the whole machine's hourly price under it. Where a provider publishes an interruptible rate it is in the same cell.

Frequently asked
- Who rents the L40 cheapest?
- RunPod, at $0.690/GPU-hr on L40 · Community Cloud, read on 17 Sept 2026. That is the on-demand rate for one GPU for one hour; the whole machine bills $0.69/hr.
- What is the NVIDIA L40?
- It is a Ada Lovelace board from 2022 with 48 GB of memory at 864 GB/s, in the PCIe card package. Those figures come from the vendor, not from any provider's price page.
- Can I rent a L40 on spot?
- Yes. 1 of the 3 configurations here publish an interruptible rate, the cheapest being $0.784/GPU-hr at CoreWeave, 37% under its own on-demand rate. The machine can be taken back mid-run, so it suits work that checkpoints.
- Why do L40 prices differ so much?
- The spread here runs from $0.690/GPU-hr to $1.25/GPU-hr for the same silicon, because what else comes with it differs: the vCPU and RAM around the GPU, whether a disk is included, how many regions it runs in, and whether the machine belongs to the provider or to a third party on a marketplace. Each row says which.
- How current are these prices?
- They are read every morning from each provider's own public page or API, and this page recomputes with them. Last refresh: 17 Sept 2026. Reserved and committed rates are not indexed. Prices exclude tax.
