Renting the RTX 4090 for a year or more?
The cheapest committed RTX 4090 rate each provider publishes, by term. A commitment is paid whether the GPU runs or not.
Across every card, a 1-year rate runs a median −15% against the same provider’s on-demand rate (7 providers); a 3-year rate −30% (5 providers). Every committed rate, card by card.
Get quotes for the RTX 4090. A person at GPU Economy reads your request and passes it to up to three providers that list a rate for the card, the cheapest listed first; the quotes come from them, directly to you.
We may be paid a fee if a request becomes a contract; who receives it follows the listed rates, never a fee, and it changes no published rate or the Price Index (how, privacy).
As of , the cheapest listed rate for the NVIDIA RTX 4090 is $0.16 per GPU-hour on Salad (community, Lowest priority). The cheapest on-demand rate is $0.39 on CloudRift. Across 15 providers, the median rate card — each provider’s cheapest on-demand rate, community capacity and marketplace floors out — is $0.49 per GPU-hour, and the middle half of those rate cards sits between $0.43 and $0.80. Between rate cards, on-demand rates for the same card run from $0.39 (CloudRift) to $0.99 (Daytona), 2.5× apart across 15 providers. By market, the cheapest listed rates are $0.57 spot (Daytona, GPU only), $0.16 on community capacity (Salad), $0.39 on-demand (CloudRift) and $0.35 reserved with no stated term (CloudRift). To buy, the median new-condition listing is $3,149.99 across 18 sellers. With 24 GB of VRAM, that is $0.016 per GB of memory per hour at the cheapest on-demand rate and $0.020 at the median.

Dated pieces on the NVIDIA RTX 4090: — RTX 4090 listed at $0.65 and $1.20 by one cloud, September 2026. Each is frozen as of its date.
As of , one provider prices the NVIDIA RTX 4090 on-demand as a whole 8-GPU node: $3.52 per node-hour (Sesterce, $0.44 per GPU). 8 GPUs at the cheapest on-demand rate ($0.39 on CloudRift) come to $3.12 an hour, where a provider rents 8 to one account and they need not share a unit. A unit price is what the provider quotes for the 8 GPUs together; whether it also rents one is not part of the quote. 1 prices it in units of 4 — the rate table below names each quote's own unit.
How it is computed
What we measure
Publicly listed rental prices for 79 GPU models (NVIDIA and AMD) at 99 providers — 1167 current quotes across seven markets — and the retail price of the cards.
Where it comes from
Each provider's own pricing page or API; retail from reseller pages. Every figure links back to its source.
How it is normalised
Node prices are divided by GPU count, per-second rates multiplied out, a price listed in another currency shown as listed, beside its USD figure at the dated official rate (ECB; the Bank of Russia for RUB and VND). A reservation published as a total for its term is divided by the hours in that term, 8,760 per year.
What is modelled, not measured
One figure: cost per million output tokens, a listed rate divided by the throughput NVIDIA published for that card, published with the run that produced it in /token-cost.json, not on this page. Risk is not a model — it is read off the market a quote is from.
What we never do
Never estimate a price, never convert a currency silently, never publish a number a reader cannot verify on the linked page.
1167 quotes · 99 providers. Seven files under CC BY 4.0; history is stored append-only and never rewritten.

Retail listings
Median new-condition store price: $3,149.99 across 36 listings from 18 sellers, most recent October 19, 2026.
NVIDIA publishes a starting price of $1,599 for the NVIDIA RTX 4090 (nvidia.com, checked September 9, 2026). The median new store price is 197% of it. Datacenter cards have no published price to compare against, so this figure exists only for consumer models.
Median new marketplace listing: $3,250.00 across 18 listings from 7 sellers.

At the cheapest on-demand rate ($0.39/hour on CloudRift), that purchase price equals about 8,077 GPU-hours of rental — roughly 11 months of continuous use. The lower community rate ($0.16 on Salad) is left out: that capacity can be reclaimed or moves with supply. Power, hosting, cooling and idle time are not counted.
