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, largest first:

  1. Location: datacenter proximity, blended with provider HQ.
  2. Price: hourly price, per GPU and in total.
  3. Billing type: reserved ahead of spot, spot ahead of quote-only.
  4. Specs: more VRAM, vCPUs and RAM.
  5. Provider diversity: in By configuration, a provider's repeat rows rank slightly lower, so one company can't take all the top spots.

Search

We match the provider, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the A30?

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?

The median on-demand price across providers has risen about 113% since August 2025, from $0.33 to $0.70/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.

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 $0.29/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 $208.80 to $883.08 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 5 cloud providers, including Exoscale, AceCloud, GPU.ai. Pricing and availability vary by region and billing model.

Can I rent the A30 in the cloud?

Yes. We currently track 16 A30 listings across 5 cloud providers:

Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr
On-demand 13 $0.63/hr
Reserved 3 $0.71/hr
