What fits in 48GB GDDR6 with ECC of VRAM
| Model | Precision | Fits? |
|---|---|---|
| Llama 3 8B | BF16 | ~16GB. Fits with headroom. |
| Llama 3.1 70B | BF16 | ~140GB. Does not fit on one card. |
| Llama 3.1 70B | INT4 | ~35-40GB. Does not fit on a single 48GB card without further offload. |
| Mistral 7B | BF16 | ~14GB. Fits comfortably. |
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 workstation-class card with 48GB VRAM at a lower TDP (300W) than the data-center accelerators, making it a reasonable single-card fit for 7-13B fine-tuning and inference without needing a rack-scale power/cooling budget.
Not good for
Ampere-generation part with no FP8 tensor cores (FP8 arrived with the following Ada/Hopper generation), so FP8-quantized serving isn't an option, and 768 GB/s bandwidth is well below what the data-center HBM parts offer for large-batch throughput.

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 A6000?
Live RTX A6000 rental prices currently range from $0.330 to $0.570 per GPU per hour across 3 providers, with a median of $0.530 per GPU per hour.
Which provider has the cheapest RTX A6000?
RunPod currently offers the lowest RTX A6000 rate on Aquanode's marketplace at $0.330 per GPU per hour in Unknown.
How is the RTX A6000 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 A6000 cost per hour?
Live RTX A6000 rental rates on Aquanode currently range from $0.330 to $0.570 per GPU per hour, with a median of $0.530/hr. See the live table above for current per-provider pricing.
How much VRAM does an RTX A6000 have?
The RTX A6000 has 48GB 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 A6000 at $0.330/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.
