Pricing & availability
How this list works
The two views
By provider shows one card per company, placed where its best offer ranked. By configuration lists every offer.
Order
What you can rent comes first: in stock, then waitlist, then not reported, then out of stock. Priced offers rank ahead of quote-only, and on-demand ahead of other billing types.
Within a group, five factors set the order:
- Location: datacenter proximity, blended with provider HQ.
- Price: hourly price, per GPU and in total.
- Billing type: reserved ahead of spot, spot ahead of quote-only.
- Specs: more VRAM, vCPUs and RAM.
- Provider diversity: a provider's repeat rows rank slightly lower, so one company can't take all the top spots.
Search
We match the provider, its country, GPU model, form factor, billing type, availability and instance name. Matching is partial and case-insensitive. Everyday words work too, so "interruptible" finds spot and "sold out" finds out of stock.
Transparency and funding
- Ads and sponsors: Paid placements sit at the top of the list and are always labeled as sponsored content. Sponsorship never influences the organic ranking itself.
- Affiliates: Affiliate links are marked. We may earn a commission if you click them, but commissions never affect the order.
- Prices: Shown in USD, converted at daily reference rates where a provider publishes in another currency. A month means 720 hours. How we estimate costs.
Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
What can the RTX A2000 run?
One RTX A2000 has 12 GB of VRAM. In practice, that's enough memory for roughly 1B parameters at 4-bit or 0.4B at 16-bit, assuming a 32K context. Below are some open-weight LLMs, with the estimated memory and GPUs each one needs.

Estimates based on the median on-demand rate. Memory is weights plus FP16/BF16 KV cache at 32K context per request. GPU counts assume 90% of advertised VRAM is usable. No guarantee of runtime support, usable performance, or that a matching quantized build exists. How we estimate costs.

Who has the cheapest RTX A2000?
How much does the RTX A2000 cost per month?
-
The cheapest verified in-stock estimate is $36 per month on-demand, $22 spot.
Where can I rent an RTX A2000?
-
GetDeploying currently tracks RTX A2000 configs from 2 providers. Vast.ai has verified in-stock on-demand configs. See the full price comparison above for every provider and config.
How many RTX A2000 GPUs do I need?
-
One RTX A2000 runs models up to roughly 1B parameters at 4-bit quantization or 0.4B at 16-bit, assuming a 32K context. Larger models run across multiple GPUs: the model table above shows the estimated memory and GPU count for popular open-weight LLMs.
Why choose the RTX A2000?
-
12GB or 6GB GDDR6, compact low-profile professional GPU. Low power draw. Entry-level option for basic GPU tasks and light AI experimentation.
When is the RTX A2000 not a good fit?
-
Very limited compute and VRAM for AI workloads. Best kept to basic visualization, light prototyping, and display tasks.
