DeepSeek 7B on RTX 5080: Monthly Cost & Token Output
Dedicated RTX 5080 hosting for DeepSeek 7B (7B) inference — fixed monthly pricing with unlimited tokens.
324 Million Tokens: Your Monthly Capacity
With 125 tokens per second of sustained throughput, a dedicated RTX 5080 can generate 324 million DeepSeek 7B tokens in a single month. Divide the £109 price tag by that volume and each million tokens costs you just £0.34 — a fraction of what most API providers charge.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| GPU | RTX 5080 (16 GB VRAM) |
| Model | DeepSeek 7B (7B parameters) |
| Monthly Server Cost | £109/mo |
| Tokens/Second | ~125.0 tok/s |
| Tokens/Day (24h) | ~10,800,000 |
| Tokens/Month | ~324,000,000 |
| Effective Cost per 1M Tokens | £0.3364 |
Flat-Rate vs. Per-Token Pricing
API providers meter every token. Here is how GigaGPU’s fixed £109/month stacks up against pay-as-you-go alternatives:
| Provider | Cost per 1M Tokens | GigaGPU Savings |
|---|---|---|
| GigaGPU (RTX 5080) | £0.3364 | — |
| Together.ai | $0.20 | Comparable |
| Fireworks | $0.20 | Comparable |
| DeepInfra | $0.13 | Comparable |
The value proposition sharpens as usage grows. At 324M tokens through DeepInfra, you would pay roughly $42. On GigaGPU, £109 covers that volume and any overflow, with data privacy and low latency included.
Break-Even Analysis
Compared to DeepInfra at $0.13/1M tokens, the break-even is approximately 838.5M tokens/month. Above that line, every additional token is free on dedicated hardware.
For teams handling sensitive data or requiring consistent sub-100ms inference, the switch to dedicated hardware often makes sense well before break-even. Compare the full cost picture including ops overhead and data compliance.
Technical Details
- VRAM layout: DeepSeek 7B uses ~7 GB. The RTX 5080’s 16 GB leaves 9 GB for concurrent KV caches and batched requests.
- Throughput tuning: INT8 or INT4 quantisation can push throughput beyond 160 tok/s with minimal quality loss.
- Inference engine: vLLM or TGI with continuous batching for multi-user serving and OpenAI-compatible API endpoints.
- Scale-out: Add RTX 5080 nodes behind a load balancer for linear throughput scaling.
Target Applications
- Medium-traffic production chatbots with real-time response requirements
- Enterprise search powered by retrieval-augmented generation
- Automated report generation and summarisation
- Code analysis and completion services
- High-throughput text classification pipelines
125 tok/s, £109/Month — No Surprises
