Data: Kalshi (KalshiEX LLC) — contract ladders referenced to the Ornn hourly index, snapshot OCT 16 2026 · 11:51 UTC. Nothing is smoothed: each monthly value is its own ladder’s estimate. The lines and bid/ask bands join only quality-passed points; gaps are hollow at their level, unplotted without one; no forward point is current spot or executable.

Daily class aggregates from published Neon quote snapshots, archived through 2026-10-14; their citable series IDs, with each comparison-policy version, are under Cite. A day or class without a comparable quote stays a gap — never interpolated; a median on fewer than 3 venues is drawn as its range (a vertical bar), never as a point on the line, and the tooltip and table view print that range.

Hourly prices retain each venue’s billing model, cheapest first. Observation dates vary by row: unavailable sources retain their last valid quote, never a new observation date. All rows: Provisional — Dated source-page observation; the raw payload is not yet pinned to the archive.

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 Oct 14, 2026 survey: the typical price is $1.19/GPU·hr, one specialist cloud's list price (RunPod, last observed Oct 11, 2026); the marketplace floor is $0.25/GPU·hr. All figures are posted list/ask prices, not transactions.
Where is RTX 5090 cheapest to rent?
As of the Oct 14, 2026 survey, RunPod lists the only on-demand list price at $1.19/GPU·hr (specialist class, last observed Oct 11, 2026). Separately, Salad lists the marketplace floor at $0.25/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 OCT 16 2026 · 11:51 UTC: Kalshi contract ladders give no reliable RTX 5090 level for Oct ’26 (the book puts the median at $0.62–$0.70) or by Aug ’27 (the book puts the median at $0.27–$1.40). Thin markets this session — no reliable front-to-back move: the Oct ’26 point is thin and the Aug ’27 point is thin. 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.
