Pricing & availability
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:
- Location: datacenter proximity, blended with provider HQ.
- Price: hourly price, per GPU and in total.
- Billing type: reserved ahead of spot, spot ahead of quote-only.
- Specs: more VRAM, vCPUs and RAM.
- Provider diversity: a provider's repeat rows rank slightly lower, so one company can't take all the top spots.
Search
We match the provider, its country, 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.

Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
What can the RTX A6000 run?
One RTX A6000 has 48 GB of VRAM. In practice, that's enough memory for roughly 60B parameters at 4-bit or 17B at 16-bit, assuming a 32K context. Below are some open-weight LLMs, with the estimated memory and GPUs each one needs.

Estimates based on the median on-demand rate. Memory is weights plus FP16/BF16 KV cache at 32K context per request. GPU counts assume 90% of advertised VRAM is usable. No guarantee of runtime support, usable performance, or that a matching quantized build exists. How we estimate costs.

Who has the cheapest RTX A6000?
-
The cheapest verified in-stock on-demand RTX A6000 tracked by GetDeploying is $0.35 per GPU per hour from Thunder Compute. Cheapest verified in stock on other billing types: spot $0.30 from Verda.
How much does the RTX A6000 cost per month?
-
At 720 hours per month, one RTX A6000 costs an estimated $403 at the median on-demand price. Cheapest verified in stock: $252 per month on-demand, $216 spot.
Where can I rent an RTX A6000?
-
GetDeploying currently tracks RTX A6000 configs from 20 providers. The cheapest verified in-stock on-demand configs come from Thunder Compute, GPU.ai, Lium and Runpod. See the full price comparison above for every provider and config.
Are RTX A6000 prices going up or down?
-
As of September 12, 2026, the median on-demand price has been flat over the past 90 days, at about $0.56 per GPU per hour.
How many RTX A6000 GPUs do I need?
-
One RTX A6000 runs models up to roughly 60B parameters at 4-bit quantization or 17B at 16-bit, assuming a 32K context. Larger models run across multiple GPUs: the model table above shows the estimated memory and GPU count for popular open-weight LLMs.
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.
