The card is yours, whole
It is a physical RTX 3050 in a PCIe slot, and your operating system sees it directly in nvidia-smi. No virtual GPU, no time-slicing, no neighbour sharing its memory.

Cheap GPU dedicated server: a whole RTX 3050 machine, €89.00/mo
Not a slice of somebody else's card. An Intel Core i5-9500 desktop with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB fitted inside, 32 GB of memory and a 256 GB NVMe SSD, on an unmetered 1 Gbps port in our Bucharest datacenter. Root access, your own operating system, online about 30 minutes after your order is approved.
Unlocked on Ubuntu. Choose Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 or 26.04 and the card arrives with its tensor throughput unlocked: +52% at FP16, +54% at BF16 and +56% at TF32 in our own test. Any other system, Windows included, runs the card at its factory rate.
Why it costs less
A desktop is the cheapest honest way to put a real GPU on the internet
Most GPU servers are priced around cards that draw ten times the power. This one is built around the card instead.
No chassis built for 700-watt cards
The RTX 3050 draws 70 W. It runs happily in a desktop, so you do not pay for the 2U chassis, twin power supplies and heavy cooling that make up much of a big GPU server's price.
Flat price, unmetered port
A job that keeps the card busy around the clock costs the same as one that leaves it idle, and nothing counts the traffic leaving the 1 Gbps port. The bill is the same every month.
What it runs
Four jobs a RTX 3050 does well for very little money
Private AI inference
Six gigabytes hold an 8-billion-parameter language model quantised to 4 bits, with room left for its context. Serve it with Ollama or llama.cpp behind your own API key, or transcribe audio with Whisper large-v3 on the card. On Ubuntu the unlocked tensor cores make prompt processing and batch work faster still.
Llama 3.1 8B at 4-bit: 4.92 GB of weightsVideo transcoding
The card's 6 GB GDDR6 sits beside a 7th-generation NVENC encoder and a 5th-generation NVDEC decoder, so H.264 and HEVC encoding happens in hardware and leaves the processor free. Streams leaving the unmetered port cost nothing extra.

Windows is on the order form, so the machine can be a desktop you reach from anywhere: Blender renders on CUDA or OptiX, and design tools get hardware acceleration instead of a software renderer. Under Windows the card runs at its factory rate.
2,304 CUDA cores, 1.47 GHz boostCUDA development and GPU CI
Write and test kernels, build containers with the NVIDIA Container Toolkit and run GPU tests on every commit, on the same Ampere generation as the A100. Rent the big card only when the code is ready for it.
Ampere architecture, 3rd-generation Tensor coresOrdered with Ubuntu, the card arrives with its tensor throughput unlocked; every other system runs it at the factory rate. See factory vs unlocked, measured on our own card.
Before you order
What this machine is not, so you can buy it with your eyes open
-
Not a training rig
Six gigabytes run an 8B model; they do not fine-tune one in full, and a 13B model at 4-bit (7.87 GB) does not fit. For 24 GB see our RTX 30 series servers, and every card we fit is on the GPU servers page.
-
One drive, no RAID
The 256 GB NVMe SSD holds the system and your data. Keep copies elsewhere, or add the nightly backup offered on the order form.
-
No remote console
A desktop board has no IPMI or iLO. Power-on is remote; if the operating system freezes, our staff in Bucharest reset it for you.
-
One city
Every one of these desktops is racked in Bucharest, in the EU. For other cities, pick a GPU server from the full list.

Questions
Cheap GPU dedicated server: the questions people ask first
Is the GPU really dedicated to me?
Yes. The whole machine is yours: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB sits in its PCIe slot and is passed to your operating system with nothing in between. No other customer shares the card, its memory or the processor.
What does the monthly price include?
€89.00 a month covers the processor, the graphics card, 32 GB of memory, the 256 GB NVMe SSD, one IPv4 address, an unmetered 1 Gbps port and basic support. A Windows licence, extra addresses, backups and faster support are optional and priced on the order form.
What does "unlocked" mean for the RTX 3050?
When you order the machine with Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04 or 26.04 we deliver it with NVIDIA's driver installed and the card's tensor throughput unlocked. In our own test, large FP16 matrix multiplies ran +52% faster, BF16 +54% and TF32 +56%, and the raw tensor rate doubled. It helps AI inference, fine-tuning and image generation; games, video encoding and FP32 maths run as before. Windows, Debian and every other system run the card at its factory rate.
Can an RTX 3050 with 6 GB run a large language model?
Yes, for inference at the 7 to 8 billion parameter size: an 8B model quantised to 4 bits needs about 5 GB, which leaves room for its context. Models of 13B parameters and up need more memory than 6 GB, even at 4-bit.
Which operating systems can I install?
Any system on the order form: Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian and AlmaLinux, Proxmox VE, and Windows. You get root or administrator access. Pick Ubuntu if you want the card unlocked; on the others it runs at its factory rate.
Can I rent it by the hour?
Yes, a machine that is ready now can be billed by the hour instead of the month, at the hourly rate shown beside the monthly price. The first-month discount applies to monthly orders only, and custom builds are monthly only.
How quickly is it ready?
These desktops are already racked, so a machine is online about 30 minutes after your order is approved. The login details appear in your dashboard.
Is the bandwidth really unmetered?
Yes. The port runs at 1 Gbps and nothing counts the traffic in or out, so streaming, model downloads and backups cost the same as an idle month.
