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 RTX 2060?
6GB GDDR6 with basic Turing Tensor Cores. Extremely affordable for learning GPU programming.
When is the RTX 2060 not a good fit?
Only 6GB VRAM, which limits most AI model loading. Better suited for learning CUDA fundamentals.
Are RTX 2060 prices going up or down?
On-demand pricing has decreased by about 48% since June 2025, dropping from $0.33 to $0.17/hr per GPU.
What size AI models can the RTX 2060 run?
With 6GB of VRAM, the RTX 2060 is mainly limited to small quantized models and lightweight GPU workloads.
How much VRAM does the RTX 2060 have?
The RTX 2060 has 6GB of VRAM. Multi-GPU setups increase total memory, but that memory is not automatically pooled across GPUs.
What is the RTX 2060's memory bandwidth?
The RTX 2060 has 336 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Higher bandwidth helps with faster data transfer between GPU memory and compute cores.
What data types does the RTX 2060 support?
The RTX 2060 supports 3 precision formats. Training: FP16, FP32. Inference: INT8.
Does the RTX 2060 support NVLink?
No. The RTX 2060 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 RTX 2060 cost per hour?
RTX 2060 pricing currently ranges from $0.04/hr to $0.47/hr per GPU, depending on the provider, instance type, and billing model.
How much does the RTX 2060 cost per month?
At 720 hours per month, one RTX 2060 can cost between $31.68 to $337.61 per month, depending on the provider. Reserved and spot pricing can lower that further.
Which cloud providers offer the RTX 2060?
The RTX 2060 is available from 3 cloud providers: Salad, Database Mart, Vast.ai.
Can I rent the RTX 2060 in the cloud?
Yes. We currently track 8 RTX 2060 listings across 3 cloud providers:
Billing type Listings Avg $/GPU/hr On-demand 3 $0.20/hr Reserved 3 $0.23/hr Spot 2 $0.20/hr
