At the lowest rates listed today, 1,000 GPU-hours costs $158 on the RTX 5090 and $625 on the RTX 6000 Ada — a difference of $468 for the same runtime. Rates are per GPU per hour and update hourly.
How this comparison is calculated
Every price is normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using the same pipeline as every other pricing surface on Aquanode, and only the cheapest qualifying offer per provider is shown. A dash means that provider does not currently list that GPU.
Architecture, compute capability and supported precisions come from each vendor's published datasheet for that generation — not from the marketplace feed. This page regenerates at most once per hour.
