Why choose the A5000?

24GB GDDR6 with NVLink (112 GB/s). Professional workstation GPU with ECC memory. Good for mixed AI development and visualization.

When is the A5000 not a good fit?

Workstation pricing premium. For AI-only workloads, the A10 or L4 offer better value. NVLink bandwidth (112 GB/s) is too low for serious distributed training.

Are A5000 prices going up or down?

On-demand pricing has increased by about 16% since June 2025, from $0.69 to $0.80/hr per GPU.

What size AI models can the A5000 run?

With 24GB of VRAM, the A5000 can typically run 7B to 13B models in FP16, or larger models in 4-bit quantized form.

How much VRAM does the A5000 have?

The A5000 has 24GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the A5000's memory bandwidth?

The A5000 has 768 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.

What data types does the A5000 support?

The A5000 supports 6 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: INT4, INT8.

Does the A5000 support NVLink?

Yes. The A5000 supports NVLink with 112 GB/s of bidirectional bandwidth. This helps accelerate multi-GPU communication.

How much does the A5000 cost per hour?

A5000 pricing currently ranges from $0.11/hr to $1.56/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the A5000 cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one A5000 can cost between $82.08 to $1,124.64 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.

Which cloud providers offer the A5000?

The A5000 is available from 11 cloud providers, including Runpod, Cirrascale, Exoscale. Pricing and availability vary by region and billing model.

Can I rent the A5000 in the cloud?

Yes. We currently track 30 A5000 listings across 11 cloud providers: Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr On-demand 18 $0.80/hr Reserved 10 $0.37/hr Spot 2 $0.23/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.
