How we sort results
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the GTX 1060?
6GB GDDR5. Entry-level Pascal GPU at minimal cost.
When is the GTX 1060 not a good fit?
No Tensor Cores and only 6GB VRAM. Only viable for legacy CUDA applications or lightweight cloud desktop use.
Are GTX 1060 prices going up or down?
On-demand pricing has increased by about 10% since July 2025, from $0.04 to $0.04/hr per GPU.
What size AI models can the GTX 1060 run?
With 6GB of VRAM, the GTX 1060 is mainly limited to small quantized models and lightweight GPU workloads.
How much VRAM does the GTX 1060 have?
The GTX 1060 has 6GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.
What is the GTX 1060's memory bandwidth?
The GTX 1060 has 192 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.
What data types does the GTX 1060 support?
The GTX 1060 supports 2 precision formats. Training: FP16, FP32.
Does the GTX 1060 support NVLink?
No. The GTX 1060 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 GTX 1060 cost per hour?
GTX 1060 pricing is currently $0.04/hr per GPU.
How much does the GTX 1060 cost per month?
At 720 hours per month, one GTX 1060 currently costs about $31.68/mo.
