Low-profile workstation GPU for basic visualization and light compute.
For smaller projects, the RTX A2000 is available around $0.05/hr per GPU (on-demand). This tier offers a 66% discount compared to the higher end of the market ($0.16/hr).
Heads up: We do our best to keep these specs & prices accurate. However, cloud costs may fluctuate based on region, usage, and other factors not listed here. These are estimates based on common setups and are for informational purposes only. Always verify current rates & exact specs with the provider before provisioning.
12GB or 6GB GDDR6, compact low-profile professional GPU. Low power draw. Entry-level option for basic GPU tasks and light AI experimentation.
Very limited compute and VRAM for AI workloads. Best kept to basic visualization, light prototyping, and display tasks.
The median on-demand price across providers has risen about 53% since August 2025, from $0.04 to $0.06/hr per GPU. This reflects the market-wide median, which moves both when providers change prices and when lower or higher priced offerings enter the market.
With 12GB of VRAM, the RTX A2000 is best for 7B-class models in 4-bit or 8-bit quantized form, and smaller models in FP16.
The RTX A2000 has 12GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.
The RTX A2000 has 288 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.
The RTX A2000 supports 6 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: INT4, INT8.
No. The RTX A2000 is a PCIe-only GPU with no NVLink, so it is better suited to single-GPU inference and smaller-scale workloads than large distributed training jobs.
RTX A2000 pricing currently ranges from $0.05/hr to $0.16/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.
At 720 hours per month, one RTX A2000 can cost between $37.51 to $112.03 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.
The RTX A2000 is available from 2 cloud providers: Runpod, Vast.ai.
