24GB HBM2e with higher memory bandwidth than GDDR6 alternatives. Supports FP64 for mixed AI and scientific workloads. MIG support for partitioning into smaller instances.

When is the A30 not a good fit?

PCIe-only. 24GB VRAM is limiting for larger models. The L40S offers more VRAM (48GB) and FP8 at a similar price point for pure inference.

Are A30 prices going up or down?

On-demand pricing has increased by about 125% since June 2025, from $0.29 to $0.66/hr per GPU.

What size AI models can the A30 run?

With 24GB of VRAM, the A30 can typically run 7B to 13B models in FP16, or larger models in 4-bit quantized form.

How much VRAM does the A30 have?

The A30 has 24GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the A30's memory bandwidth?

The A30 has 933 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.

What data types does the A30 support?

The A30 supports 7 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: INT4, INT8. Scientific: FP64.

Does the A30 support NVLink?

No. The A30 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.

How much does the A30 cost per hour?

A30 pricing currently ranges from $0.35/hr to $1.23/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the A30 cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one A30 can cost between $252.00 to $885.60 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.

Which cloud providers offer the A30?

The A30 is available from 3 cloud providers: Exoscale, AceCloud, Massed Compute.

Can I rent the A30 in the cloud?

Yes. We currently track 9 A30 listings across 3 cloud providers: Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr On-demand 9 $0.66/hr

Default ranking

Our algorithm weighs five factors to find the most relevant matches for you:

Price: We blend total hourly price with price-per-GPU to balance affordability and value.
Specs: We favor offers with higher CPU, RAM, and GPU Memory.
Billing: We favor on-demand billing for simplicity and flexibility over spot instances, reservations, and custom quotes.
Location: We blend both datacenter proximity and provider HQ location. Datacenter location matters for latency, while HQ location matters for compliance and support.
Provider diversity: Each time a provider appears in the list, their subsequent offerings are ranked a little lower, so one provider's offerings don't crowd out the top positions.

Sorting and filtering

Click any column header to sort by that column. Use the filters above the table to narrow results by billing type, GPU count, vCPUs, or RAM. Custom sorting resets the default relevance ranking.

Transparency and funding

Ads and sponsors: Any paid placements are fixed at the top and clearly labeled as sponsored content.

Affiliates: Any affiliate links will be indicated to you as well. We may earn a commission if you click them, but this never influences the ranking order.
