NVIDIA RTX A6000 pricing by provider
One card per provider, cheapest first. A configuration is one priced unit — an instance type, a SKU, a marketplace offer — and the per-GPU price is that unit's price divided by its GPU count. Open a card to see every configuration with its vCPU, RAM and region where the provider publishes them.

Weights + KV cache at 8K context + runtime overhead, against 43 GB usable of the 48 GB on the card. Capacity follows total parameters, even for mixture-of-experts models — any expert may be needed next. Where one card is not enough, the table says how many are, and prices the set at today's median.

tok/s is decode throughput from memory bandwidth, derated 20%, single stream — an estimate, not a benchmark. Set cost uses today's median × GPUs required.

Bandwidth is listed because it governs generation speed: each token streams the active weights once, so tokens per second is bandwidth divided by bytes read. TFLOPs decide prompt processing and training, not how fast text appears.

Questions
How much does it cost to rent a NVIDIA RTX A6000?
As of 2026-09-12, the median on-demand price across 12 providers is $0.59 per GPU-hour, about $425 a month at 720 hours. The cheapest we saw was $0.33 at RunPod Community Cloud.
Why do prices for the same GPU vary so much?
Hyperscalers bundle CPU, RAM and network into an instance price and charge for the ecosystem around it. Neoclouds sell the GPU more directly. Marketplaces are independent hosts competing on price, with the trade-offs of shared, third-party hardware. The per-GPU figure is the instance price divided by GPU count, which is the only way to compare an 8-GPU node with a single-card listing.
Is the median the price I will pay?
No — it is the middle of the market. Each provider's own median is taken first so a provider with many instance sizes counts once, then the median across providers. Spot and reserved rates are excluded from it; they set the floor shown separately. Use it to judge whether a quote is high or low, then verify with the provider.
Which models can a NVIDIA RTX A6000 run?
With 48 GB per GPU, the table above shows which reference models fit on one card at 4, 8 and 16-bit, using the same memory arithmetic as the rest of Runyard: weights plus KV cache plus runtime overhead, with capacity following total parameters even for mixture-of-experts models. Where a model needs more than one GPU it says how many and what that set costs at today's median.
Own the hardware instead? Work out what your card holds with the same arithmetic.
