02 Verdict

Which should you rent?

Both cards carry 48 GB, so capacity is not what decides this one. Bandwidth is 768 GB/s against 696 GB/s, and for single-stream token generation it is bandwidth that sets the speed, not the FLOPS figure on the spec sheet. The RTX A6000 costs 21% more per month, $290 against $240, or $0.40 against $0.33 per GPU-hour.
