What fits in 24GB GDDR6 with ECC of VRAM
| Model | Precision | Fits? |
|---|---|---|
| Llama 3 8B | BF16 | roughly 16GB. Fits with a modest KV-cache budget. |
| Mistral 7B | BF16 | ~14GB. Fits comfortably. |
| Mixtral 8x7B | INT4 | ~24GB. Right at the limit; expect to need offload. |
| Llama 3.1 70B | INT4 | ~35-40GB. Does not fit on a single 24GB card. |
Approximate, based on published parameter counts and standard bytes-per-parameter rules of thumb (FP16 ≈ 2 bytes/param, INT4 ≈ 0.5-0.6 bytes/param). Real footprint also depends on KV-cache size and framework overhead.
Good for
A 230W workstation card with 24GB of ECC memory and a real NVLink bridge. The same VRAM as an RTX 4090 or 3090 but with error correction and half the power draw, which is what makes it worth renting for a long fine-tuning run you can't afford to have corrupted.
Not good for
Ampere, so no FP8 tensor cores and no FP8 serving. 768 GB/s is well under what the HBM data-center parts do, and 24GB rules out 70B-class models even in INT4 without offload.

How this price is calculated
All prices on this page are normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using each offer's authoritative GPU count, so that raw price is divided by the number of GPUs it actually covers; Akash reports its price as already per-GPU, so it is used as-listed. An offer with a missing, zero, or invalid GPU count is excluded entirely rather than published at a guessed rate.
No offers were excluded from this snapshot for a missing or invalid price. No offers were dropped as price outliers in this snapshot.
Only the cheapest qualifying offer per provider is shown in the table above. This page regenerates at most once per hour.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a RTX A5000?
Live RTX A5000 rental prices currently range from $0.160 to $0.270 per GPU per hour across 1 provider, with a median of $0.215 per GPU per hour.
Which provider has the cheapest RTX A5000?
RunPod currently offers the lowest RTX A5000 rate on Aquanode's marketplace at $0.160 per GPU per hour in Unknown.
How is the RTX A5000 price calculated?
All prices are normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using each offer's authoritative GPU count, which the raw price is divided by; Akash reports its price as already per-GPU. Offers whose price can't be safely normalized, or whose rate is an extreme outlier against the rest of the market, are excluded.
How much does an RTX A5000 cost per hour?
Live RTX A5000 rental rates on Aquanode currently range from $0.160 to $0.270 per GPU per hour, with a median of $0.215/hr. See the live table above for current per-provider pricing.
How much VRAM does an RTX A5000 have?
The RTX A5000 has 24GB GDDR6 with ECC, with 768 GB/s of peak memory bandwidth.
Is renting cheaper than buying?
Renting avoids the upfront hardware cost and lets you match spend to actual usage. A rented RTX A5000 at $0.160/hr only costs money while it's running, whereas buying ties up capital in hardware that keeps depreciating whether it's in use or not. Which is cheaper depends on how continuously you'd run it; short or bursty workloads usually favor renting.
