First observation 2026-07-23

specialist median $0.99/GPU·hr · marketplace-access floor $0.31/GPU·hr. The band chart builds as the daily archive grows — it draws once two or more observation days exist.

Daily class aggregates from published Neon quote snapshots (primary-on-demand-v1 hyperscaler floor and specialist median; marketplace-access-v1 floor), archived through 2026-07-23. A day or class without a comparable quote stays a gap — never interpolated.

RTX 5090 rental price — common questions

Generated from the current datasets — each answer carries its own stamp and updates when the data refreshes.

How much does an RTX 5090 cost to rent?

As of the 2026-07-06 survey (automated rows 2026-07-23): the specialist on-demand median is $0.99/GPU·hr; marketplace access starts at $0.31/GPU·hr. All figures are posted list/ask prices, not transactions (primary-on-demand-v1 · marketplace-access-v1).

Where is RTX 5090 cheapest to rent?

As of the 2026-07-06 survey, Vast.ai lists the marketplace-access floor at $0.31/GPU·hr — variable availability, often interruptible or community hardware, so it is not comparable with on-demand list prices. These are posted list/ask prices, not transactions.

Where does the market expect RTX 5090 prices to go?

Market snapshot AUG 28 2026 · 22:35 UTC: Kalshi contract ladders price RTX 5090 at $0.62/GPU·hr for Aug ’26 and $0.49/GPU·hr by Aug ’27 — −21.0% front to back, an easing curve. Forward tenors are market-implied monthly averages referenced to the Ornn hourly index; they are indicative, not executable quotes, and no forward point is current spot.
