Buy a GPU and rent it — when does it pay for itself?

Here's the full math: earnings per hour (from the benchmark-anchored market price) minus our fee and electricity, against what the card costs. Tune the assumptions and watch the breakeven and 1-year ROI change.

This is a model, not a promise. The biggest factor is how many hours a day it's actually rented — that's demand-dependent, and demand is still early. Set it to what you realistically expect. Choose GPU-only or whole PC (adds the rest-of-build cost + its power). Hardware cost defaults to launch MSRP — type today's real price. Electricity counts load only while it's running.

Earnings use the benchmark-anchored reference price (what a buyer pays) minus our fee; the real price is set by the seller and demand. Nothing here is guaranteed.
