REFURBISHED L40S
NVIDIA L40S 48GB
Refurbished L40S units are less common because the model is still relatively new in production. When available, they offer tested inference performance at a slight premium over used, with documented diagnostic and supplier warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
REFURBISHED L40S — KEY QUESTIONS
What is the price range for refurbished L40S?+
Indicative pricing for refurbished L40S is $7,000 to $8,500 per unit as of Q3 2026, between used at $5,500 to $7,500 and new at $8,500 to $10,000. The refurbishment premium over used is roughly 20 percent, reflecting Ada Lovelace-era diagnostic testing and 90 to 180 day supplier warranty.
Why is refurbished L40S supply limited?+
L40S deployment scaled meaningfully only from 2024, so many production units are still inside their first depreciation cycle at the original buyer. Refurbishment programs need a steady inflow of cycled-out hardware, and L40S inflow remains modest compared to Hopper or Ampere.
What does L40S refurbishment include?+
Standard PCIe-card refurbishment runs NVIDIA Field Diagnostic, NVSMI checks, full-power thermal stress for 24 to 72 hours, capacitor and inductor screening, PCIe slot edge connector cleaning, and firmware updates. L40S-specific checks include verification of the dual-fan thermal solution and PCIe Gen4 link training.
Refurbished L40S versus refurbished A100 80GB?+
Refurbished L40S at $7,000 to $8,500 versus refurbished A100 80GB at $9,000 to $11,000. L40S adds FP8 acceleration (1,466 sparse TFLOPS) at lower price; A100 80GB adds 32GB more memory and HBM bandwidth. For FP8-quantized inference, L40S is the better economic choice. For memory-bound workloads, A100 80GB.
