Ideal use cases with the L4 GPU Instance
Accelerate Image and video generation
If you’ve put a text-to-image model in production, and you’re looking to optimize the cost of you’re infrastructure but not at the cost of performance. L4 Instance GPU is a serious candidate.
L4 GPU Instance generates a 256x256px image in 14445.1 pixel/second
- It’s 56% faster than with a Render Instance (9278.3 pixel/second)
- It’s 6,3% faster than with a T4 GPU Instance (13583.3 pixel/second)
- It’s 8.5% faster than with a V100 PCIe GPU (16G) Instance (13314.6 pixel/second)
- It’s 8,2% faster than with a V100 SXM2 GPU (16G) Instance (13348.8 pixel/second)
- And almost as fast as A100 SXM 40GB (-1,6%) (14681.1pixel/second)
And with 50 percent more memory capacity, L4 enables larger image generation, up to 1024x768, which wasn’t possible on the previous GPU generation (T4)

Optimize Graphic experiences
L4 GPU Instance is the next secret tools of any teams working in:
Manufacturing, automotive industry
GPUs like the NVIDIA L4 GPU empowers design and engineering teams with real-time simulations for early evaluation of 3D models. These life-like simulations accelerate analysis, enable teams to quickly test viable design modifications and modify models before final validation, resulting in an acceleration of product creation.
Gaming, Content creation industry
L4 GPU Instance can also empower creators to build real-time, cinematic-quality graphics and scenes for immersive visual experiences, thanks to its brand new third-generation RT Cores.
Experiment performance for AI video applications
With up to 3x the H264 video encoding and decoding performance of the T4, and 120x the performance of CPU-based solutions, the L4 is the ideal choice for real-time AI video pipelines.
The L4 GPU Instance is capable of hosting over 1,000 AV1 video streams at 720p30 for mobile applications, and with fourth-generation Tensor Core technology and FP8 precision support, it takes video content understanding to a new level.
Plus, with up to 120x better energy efficiency and cost of ownership compared to traditional CPU-based infrastructure, the L4 GPU Instance is not only powerful but also cost-effective.
