RTX 4090: what can a host earn?

System assumptions

GPU Platform model Renter price on the marketplace (USD/hr) Vast markup (price ÷ host income; estimate)

Order type Share of orders paid in CLORE (your assumption): 50%

Power draw (watts) Hardware price (USD) Utilization (% of hours rented) Electricity (USD/kWh) Other monthly costs (USD)

Estimated net monthly yield

–

Host income per hour: –
Revenue per day: –
Electricity per day (idle = 15%): –
Net per year: –
Payback: –

Clore settles earnings in CLORE, so all Clore income carries CLORE price risk.

Estimates only, not financial advice. Defaults (60% utilization, $0.12/kWh) are placeholders, not market data. Disclaimer · Methodology

Renter prices

Renter Price - On Demand (median asking price per GPU-hour, not a rented price). Updated daily (Collected: 2026-10-12) Manual snapshots (RunPod, TensorDock, Lambda) are shown only where a dated snapshot exists; otherwise "No data".

GPU	Group	Vast.ai	Clore.ai	RunPod / TensorDock / Lambda
RTX 4090	Flagship Consumer	$0.51 (2026-10-12, 68 offers)	$0.49 (2026-10-12, 92 offers)	No data

RTX 4090: which platform?

Vast.ai2026-10-12

Renter pays $0.51

Host net ≈ $0.41

Clore.ai2026-10-12

Renter pays $0.49

Host net $0.39 to $0.47

Too close to call under these assumptions: the result depends on how renters pay on Clore.

On-Demand prices per hour. Host net is an estimate: Vast = renter price ÷ 1.25 (editable in the calculator); Clore = 80% to 95% of the listed price depending on how renters pay. Utilization (how often your card is actually rented) is not included and can reverse the ranking. Ranking is purely algorithmic and unaffected by affiliate links.
