Performance Options & Specs

Pick the right Vagon performance tier across the Graphics Accelerated and Computing Accelerated categories, change it between sessions, and review the current CPU, GPU, and RAM specs for each option.

Vagon performance options define the cloud hardware available to your computer. Choose the option that matches your workload instead of only choosing the largest available machine, and adjust it whenever your needs change.

Choosing a Performance Option

Use a stronger performance option for:

• GPU rendering.

• 3D design and visualization.

• Video workflows.

• Large scenes or datasets.

Use a lighter option for:

• General productivity.

• Browser-based work.

• Lightweight design or review workflows.

Vagon groups its hardware into two main categories. Within Graphics Accelerated, there is a latest-generation line built on NVIDIA RTX A10G GPUs and a standard line on NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPUs. Computing Accelerated covers high-frequency CPU options without dedicated GPUs.

Hourly rates vary by performance tier and by region. For current pricing in your region, see vagon.io/pricing and vagon.io/region-prices.

Graphics Accelerated — Latest Generation (RTX A10G)

Built on the NVIDIA A10G Tensor Core GPU. These tiers are the strongest option for GPU rendering, real-time 3D, ray tracing, and complex video workflows.

Tier	CPU	GPU	RAM
Spark	4 cores	24 GB A10G	16 GB
Flame	8 cores	24 GB A10G	32 GB
Blaze	16 cores	24 GB A10G	64 GB
Lava	48 cores	4 × 24 GB A10G	192 GB

Blaze is a strong default for complex 3D scenes and video work. Step up to Lava when you need multi-GPU rendering or very large scenes.

Graphics Accelerated — Standard (Tesla T4)

Built on the NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPU. A reliable, lower-cost path for everyday graphics workloads.

Tier	CPU	GPU	RAM
Planet	4 cores	16 GB Tesla T4	16 GB
Star	16 cores	16 GB Tesla T4	64 GB
Galaxy	48 cores	4 × 16 GB Tesla T4	192 GB

Planet is the trial entry point and a cost-effective tier for daily graphics work that does not need the latest-generation GPU.

Computing Accelerated

High-frequency Intel CPUs without a dedicated GPU. Suitable for compute-heavy workloads, general productivity, and CPU-bound development.

Tier	CPU	RAM
Sand	2 cores @ 3.1 GHz	4 GB
Lake	2 cores @ 4.0 GHz	16 GB
Sea	8 cores @ 4.0 GHz	64 GB
Ocean	24 cores @ 4.0 GHz	192 GB

Computing Accelerated tiers have no dedicated GPU. If your application requires a GPU for rendering, real-time 3D, or video acceleration, pick a Graphics Accelerated tier instead.

Changing Performance

You are not locked into a single performance tier. You can upgrade or downgrade your Vagon Computer at any time while keeping the same data, files, and installed applications. The Vagon team compares this to "modifying your car in a racing game" – the vehicle stays yours, the parts change.

To change the performance option:

1. Open your Dashboard and select the computer you want to change.

2. Make sure the computer is stopped. You cannot change performance while a session is running.

3. Click Change next to the current performance option.

4. Pick the new tier and click Save.

5. Start the computer again to use the new hardware.

Open the performance settings from the Dashboard

Select a new performance tier and save

Start with a lighter option for setup, installation, and downloads, then upgrade to a stronger option when you are ready to render or run heavier workloads. Pricing changes with the tier you choose and varies by region – check the live rates at vagon.io/pricing and vagon.io/region-prices before starting long sessions.
