Questions
How much does an NVIDIA L40S cost per hour in the cloud?
On-demand from $1.86 per GPU-hour (AWS g6e.xlarge, 1 GPU, in us-west-2, Oregon, US); spot from $0.562; with a 1-year commitment from $1.17. That is about $1,359 per GPU for a month of 730 hours on-demand. The clouds sell the GPU with a machine type, so this is the type's price divided by its GPUs, Linux list prices checked 25 October 2026, 14:51 UTC.
How much does spot save on the NVIDIA L40S?
The cheapest spot GPU-hour against the cheapest on-demand GPU-hour: AWS 70% less. Spot VMs can be stopped by the provider at any time, and large GPU types are often short of spot capacity.
How much does a 1-year commitment save on the NVIDIA L40S?
The cheapest 1-year GPU-hour against the cheapest on-demand GPU-hour: AWS 37% less. That is AWS's Standard Reserved Instances with no upfront payment.
Which machine types have the NVIDIA L40S?
AWS: g6e.xlarge, g6e.2xlarge, g6e.12xlarge, g6e.4xlarge, g6e.24xlarge, g6e.48xlarge, g6e.8xlarge and g6e.16xlarge. Machine types whose GPU model the provider does not state are not counted.
