Two Nvidia workstation GPUs, one Ampere and one Ada Lovelace: 48 GB GDDR6 against 16 GB GDDR6, 3.4x the memory bandwidth on the RTX A6000, and NVLink 112 GB/s on the RTX A6000 where the RTX 2000 Ada is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | RTX A6000 | RTX 2000 Ada | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.55 /GPU/hr from $0.40 | $0.24 /GPU/hr from $0.13 | 2.3x more expensive on RTX A6000 |
| Reserved | $0.48 /GPU/hr from $0.31 (6 mo) | On request | |
| Spot | -- /GPU/hr from $0.20 | No spot listings |
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. Medians are across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one. No median for spot on the RTX A6000: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
