Estimates: model weights plus 20% for KV cache and runtime overhead, at short context lengths. Long contexts and large batches need more. Rows marked “tight” hold the weights but not that full margin. A ×N figure is the total VRAM across N of these GPUs and makes no claim about interconnect throughput.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the RTX 3060 Ti cost per hour?
The RTX 3060 Ti starts at $0.06 per GPU-hour, with a median of $0.07 across 2 available configurations. Actual pricing depends on the provider, region, and whether you rent on-demand, spot or reserved.
Which cloud providers offer the RTX 3060 Ti?
2 providers currently list the RTX 3060 Ti: Omega Gradient, Vast.ai. Compare their hourly pricing, regions and machine specs in the table above.
How much VRAM does the RTX 3060 Ti have?
The RTX 3060 Ti comes with 8 GB of VRAM, which determines the largest models and batch sizes it can hold in memory for training and inference.
Which LLMs can I run on the RTX 3060 Ti?
With 8 GB of VRAM, a single RTX 3060 Ti can serve models such as Granite 4.1 8B, Qwen3 8B, Llama 3.1 8B Instruct, Mistral 7B Instruct v0.3. The table above lists the estimated VRAM for each model at 16-bit, 8-bit and 4-bit precision, including the multi-GPU configurations needed for larger models.
What's the biggest LLM I can run on multiple RTX 3060 Ti GPUs?
The largest models we track that fit across several RTX 3060 Ti cards are Gemma 3 12B on 2 GPUs at 4-bit. A multi-GPU configuration means you rent and pay for every card for the whole run, and splitting a model across cards costs throughput as well: the GPUs exchange activations on every token, so performance depends on how fast they are wired together. We do not track interconnect, so check the provider's node specification. The table above gives the smallest configuration for each model at 16-bit, 8-bit and 4-bit precision.
Where is the RTX 3060 Ti cheapest?
The lowest on-demand price we currently track for the RTX 3060 Ti is $0.06 per GPU-hour at Vast.ai. Because providers update pricing and availability frequently, check the live table above before you launch.
