RTX 4080 on Salad

Visit Salad

Salad provides access to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, a 16GB VRAM consumer GPU based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, through its decentralized network of residential nodes. This offering stands out for delivering high-end consumer GPU performance at the lowest prices in the market, thanks to Salad's peer-hosted infrastructure optimized for massive batch jobs and fault-tolerant inference. ML engineers and data scientists handling large-scale inference, fine-tuning of mid-sized LLMs, or generative AI pipelines will find this combination compelling. Key value propositions include per-second billing, spot instances for up to 70% cost savings over datacenter providers, and global residential node distribution reducing regional latency biases. The RTX 4080 excels in FP16/INT8 workloads with 48 TFLOPS FP32 and strong tensor core efficiency, making it suitable for cost-sensitive, non-real-time tasks. While not matching enterprise-grade reliability, Salad's model democratizes access to premium consumer silicon for scalable, interruptible compute.

Why NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 on Salad?

Choosing Salad for the RTX 4080 leverages the provider's strengths in decentralized consumer GPU pooling, offering the cheapest rates—often $0.10-0.20/hour on spot—versus $0.50+ on traditional clouds. This complements the 4080's consumer-tier capabilities: 16GB GDDR6X VRAM and Ada Lovelace efficiency shine in inference-heavy batch jobs where fault-tolerance is key. Salad's residential network provides massive parallelism for distributed workloads, with per-second billing minimizing waste on variable-duration tasks. Unique advantages include low entry barriers, no long-term commitments, and spot preemptions suiting non-critical ML pipelines. Ideal for teams prioritizing cost over consistent uptime, this combo enables scaling RTX 4080 clusters affordably without datacenter premiums.

Performance Notes

On Salad, expect RTX 4080 performance comparable to bare-metal consumer setups: ~300-400 tokens/sec for Llama 7B inference (FP16), strong for fine-tuning up to 13B models. Factors include residential network bandwidth (typically 100-1000 Mbps, varying by node), cloud-attached NVMe storage (up to 1TB ephemeral), and single-GPU primacy with limited multi-GPU scaling due to decentralized topology—expect higher inter-node latency than InfiniBand clusters. Salad supports Docker/PyTorch natively. Known traits: high variability in uptime (spot nodes preemptible), but fault-tolerant designs mitigate this. Benchmarks are user-reported; official Salad perf data limited—test small jobs first for your workload.
