RTX A6000 Pricing and Availability

You can start using a RTX A6000 for $0.35/hr per GPU (on-demand). It's a low-risk price point for smaller workloads compared to the market high of $2.12/hr. Spot instances start lower, at $0.20/hr per GPU.

18 providers

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 RTX A6000?

48GB GDDR6 with NVLink (112 GB/s). Professional-grade with ECC memory and ISV certifications. Strong for both AI development and CAD/visualization workloads.

When is the RTX A6000 not a good fit?

Priced as a professional workstation GPU. For pure AI inference, the L40S offers similar VRAM with better FP8 performance at lower cost.

Are RTX A6000 prices going up or down?

The median on-demand price has held steady around $0.56/hr per GPU across providers.

What size AI models can the RTX A6000 run?

With 48GB of VRAM, the RTX A6000 can typically run models up to about 30B parameters in FP16, or 70B-class models in 4-bit quantized form for inference.

How much VRAM does the RTX A6000 have?

The RTX A6000 has 48GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.

What is the RTX A6000's memory bandwidth?

The RTX A6000 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 RTX A6000 support?

The RTX A6000 supports 6 precision formats. Training: BF16, FP16, TF32, FP32. Inference: INT4, INT8.

Does the RTX A6000 support NVLink?

Yes. The RTX A6000 supports NVLink with 112 GB/s of bidirectional bandwidth. This helps accelerate multi-GPU communication.

How much does the RTX A6000 cost per hour?

RTX A6000 pricing currently ranges from $0.20/hr to $2.12/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.

How much does the RTX A6000 cost per month?

At 720 hours per month, one RTX A6000 can cost between $145.94 to $1,528.56 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.
