What is the difference between the RTX 6000 Ada and the T4?
The RTX 6000 Ada has 48 GB of VRAM against the T4's 16 GB; the RTX 6000 Ada is an Ada Lovelace part and the T4 is Turing (compute capability 8.9 vs 7.5); only the RTX 6000 Ada supports BF16, FP8 compute. On price, the RTX 6000 Ada lists from $0.625/GPU/hr and the T4 from $0.158/GPU/hr.
Which cloud providers offer the RTX 6000 Ada and the T4?
3 providers list the RTX 6000 Ada (Vast.ai, Massed Compute and DataCrunch) and 1 list the T4 (Akash), across 3 and 1 region respectively. No single provider currently lists both models.
How much does 1,000 GPU-hours cost on the RTX 6000 Ada vs the T4?
At the lowest rates listed today, 1,000 GPU-hours costs $625 on the RTX 6000 Ada and $158 on the T4 — a difference of $468 for the same runtime. Rates are per GPU per hour and update hourly.
How this comparison is calculated
Every price is normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using the same pipeline as every other pricing surface on Aquanode, and only the cheapest qualifying offer per provider is shown. A dash means that provider does not currently list that GPU.
Architecture, compute capability and supported precisions come from each vendor's published datasheet for that generation — not from the marketplace feed. This page regenerates at most once per hour.
