Render GPU

Net earnings after electricity. Calibrated against the Burn-Mint Equilibrium model and OctaneBench-equivalent OBH rates, with a conservative ~70% utilization assumption.

1. GPU model

Higher-tier GPUs render more OBH per hour. Datacenter cards (A100/H100) often have poor render ROI — they're priced for AI workloads.

2. Daily availability

Hours per day the GPU is online and accepting jobs.

3. Real demand (job-fill %)

Render pays per OBh actually delivered, not for being online. Jobs are demand-driven, irregular, and gated by a whitelist — so a node can sit idle. This is the variable that matters most.

Effective rendering ≈ 8.0 hrs/day.

4. Electricity cost

Your local kWh rate. We subtract electricity from gross earnings to show real net.

Render pays per OBh delivered, only when jobs exist — earning requires passing a whitelist/benchmark and is not guaranteed. The per-OBh→RENDER payout isn't published, so the rate here is illustrative; tune "real demand" to your expected job flow. Electricity is billed on full online hours (idle draw). Tiered pricing (Priority vs Economy) means Economy nodes earn ~half per OBh.
