Workstation · Ampere architecture
The RTX A6000 is the Ampere workstation flagship: 48 GB GDDR6 with ECC, 10,752 CUDA cores, NVLink bridge support, 300 W. It is the cheapest 48 GB card on the sheet — ideal for 32B-class inference, LoRA training and render jobs that outgrow 24 GB.
Workstation silicon with ECC memory and studio-certified drivers. Renderers (Blender, Octane, Redshift), CAD and simulation get the large VRAM they want without paying datacenter-flagship rates — and per-second billing suits render queues perfectly.
NVIDIA RTX A6000 specs: VRAM, TFLOPS, bandwidth
| GPU model | NVIDIA RTX A6000 | Architecture | Ampere (2020) |
|---|---|---|---|
| VRAM | 48 GB GDDR6 | Memory bandwidth | 768 GB/s |
| FP16 tensor perf. | 155 TFLOPS | FP32 perf. | 38.7 TFLOPS |
| CUDA cores | 10,752 | TDP | 300 W |
| PowerScore (RTX 3090 = 100) | 109 | PCIe generation | Gen 4.0 |
| Multi-GPU | 1× – 4× | Max instance storage | 8,000 GB NVMe |
| Network up to | 10,000 Mbps | CUDA | 12.4 – 13.0 |
Bandwidth, CUDA cores, TDP and FP32 are public NVIDIA figures; FP16 tensor is the dense (non-sparsity) number. Machine-level values come from live inventory.
RTX A6000 price per hour: on-demand, interruptible, reserved
One public rule sets every price on this page: the marketplace median for the RTX A6000 ($0.40/hr, snapshot 2026-09-03) × 0.70, rounded down — so on-demand is $0.281, 30% below market. Interruptible halves it; a 3-month reservation takes another 35% off.
| Mode | Per GPU-hour | Per day (24 h) | Per month (730 h) | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | $0.281 | $6.74 | $205 | Guaranteed capacity, price locked at deploy, stop anytime |
| Interruptible | $0.140 | $3.36 | $102 | Flat −50%; may pause under capacity pressure, disk kept, auto-requeue |
| Reserved (3 months) | $0.182 | $4.37 | $133 | −35% on on-demand, rate locked for the term, capacity held |
Per GPU: an 4× machine costs exactly 4× — no multi-GPU premium. Estimate a full month with storage and bandwidth in the GPU cost calculator.
What you can run on a RTX A6000 (48 GB VRAM)
With 48 GB of GDDR6, a single card holds a ~14B-parameter LLM in FP16 or up to ~72B parameters quantized to 4-bit, with room for KV-cache at practical context lengths. Scale to 4× GPUs on one machine for bigger models or bigger batches — the per-GPU price stays $0.281.

RTX A6000 vs alternatives: price per TFLOP
| GPU | VRAM | FP16 | On-demand | $ / TFLOP-hr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX A6000 this card | 48 GB | 155 | $0.281 | $1.81‰ |
| RTX 5880Ada | 48 GB | 340 | $0.290 | $0.85‰ |
| RTX 5000Ada | 32 GB | 190 | $0.262 | $1.38‰ |
| RTX PRO 4500 | 24 GB | 200 | $0.210 | $1.05‰ |
| RTX PRO 4000 | 20 GB | 150 | $0.181 | $1.21‰ |
‰ = dollars per 1,000 TFLOP-hours of FP16 — a rough value-for-compute yardstick across cards.

Renting a RTX A6000: frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent an NVIDIA RTX A6000 per hour?
$0.281 per GPU-hour on-demand — a fixed price set at least 30% below the current market median of $0.40. Interruptible capacity costs $0.140/hr and a 3-month reservation $0.182/hr. Around $205/month if you keep one running non-stop, billed per second.
What can a RTX A6000 with 48 GB VRAM run?
In LLM terms, roughly a 14B-parameter model in FP16 or up to ~72B parameters 4-bit quantized on a single card, with context headroom. Multi-GPU instances (up to 4× on current inventory) multiply that; diffusion and rendering workloads fit comfortably at this VRAM class.
Is the RTX A6000 available to rent right now?
Yes — 28 GPUs across 5 machines in 5 regions are listed as we render this page. Configurations go from 1× to 4×. Deploy from the console and it is running in about 30 seconds.
How do I deploy a RTX A6000?
Create an account (email + password, no card, no KYC), top up in crypto, open the console, filter by RTX A6000, pick a machine and a template such as PyTorch, vLLM or ComfyUI. The same deploy is one command with the CLI: powergpu launch --gpu rtx-a6000 --template pytorch.
Why is the RTX A6000 cheaper here than on GPU marketplaces?
We price from the public marketplace median and fix our on-demand rate at least 30% below it, rounded down. The price is re-checked weekly (next check 2026-09-10) and published — no auctions, no per-host roulette, no bidding.
