L40S combines Ada Lovelace compute and graphics capabilities with 48 GB GDDR6. Consider it for inference, visual workloads and development environments that fit within its memory budget.
Ada Lovelace
Exact GPU variant, CPU, RAM and interconnect depend on the confirmed instance. Memory values are hardware references, not allocated resources.
Manufacturer specifications ↗Public reference / GPU-hour. Arvica sell price, taxes and additional services require an approved quote.
Choose on-demand or reserved compute. Location, start time and access environment are confirmed before provisioning.

Published reference rates do not establish live availability or identical instance specifications. Your Arvica quote confirms the complete configuration and charges.
Evaluate L40S for image generation, rendering and inference applications that can use a graphics-capable GPU. Test the actual model, resolution and concurrency you intend to serve.
Compare RTX PRO 6000 Server for a larger graphics-capable memory footprint. Compare H100 or H200 for workloads needing an HBM-based configuration and suitable multi-GPU fabric.
NVIDIA lists 48 GB GDDR6 with ECC. Leave room for runtime allocations and temporary tensors in addition to the model weights.
L40S does not provide NVLink. Do not assume an NVSwitch-connected training node when selecting multiple L40S GPUs; confirm PCIe topology and network requirements.
Validate both compute and graphics requirements, including container access, display or rendering libraries and application licensing where applicable.
NVIDIA hardware reference ↗ · Selection guidance is Arvica's assessment; validate it against your workload
Specify the OS, framework and container image version. Arvica confirms the driver and GPU compatibility before activation. A template name is not a software licence or a guaranteed preinstalled image.
Save an SSH public key during configuration. Keep the private key on your own device. The verified deployment record provides the actual host and login user once access is ready.
Separate boot disk, datasets, model weights and checkpoints in your capacity plan. Confirm persistence, backup ownership, attachment rules and deletion behaviour before relying on a volume.
Confirm ingress, egress, public IP access and private networking where required. For regulated or location-sensitive data, specify the required region in advanced settings before submitting.
Once Arvica supplies verified access, connect using your private key and the exact host/user shown in your instance. Then inspect the allocated GPUs and topology.
ssh -i ~/.ssh/your_key USER@HOST nvidia-smi nvidia-smi topo -m
Replace USER and HOST with your own deployment details. These commands inspect an existing machine; they do not provision one.
Parameter count × bytes per weight estimates weights only. Add KV cache, activations, temporary tensors and framework overhead. Training additionally needs gradients and optimiser state.
Record model version, precision, input/output length, concurrency, latency and error rate together. Compare the cost of a completed job or successful request under the same conditions.
Include all allocated GPUs, runtime, storage, networking, taxes and support. Monthly projections use 730 hours for comparison; your contract defines the billable period and minimum term.
Define your GPU allocation, interconnect, storage, location and commitment. Arvica prepares a capacity proposal around the workload.
Request capacity ↗Model fit and throughput depend on precision, software, batch size, context and system topology. Compare workload estimates rather than an unsupported tokens-per-second promise.

L40S does not provide NVLink. Do not assume an NVSwitch-connected training node when selecting multiple L40S GPUs; confirm PCIe topology and network requirements.
Do not assume so. Resource allocation, storage and reserved commitments may continue billing. Check the contract and request the appropriate lifecycle action through support.
Retention depends on the agreed storage configuration. Export data and confirm backup and volume retention before requesting termination.
