A40 price history
Aquanode stores one snapshot of its GPU price index per UTC day. For the A40 that is 5 days so far, 2026-10-06 to 2026-10-10, so this is a short history, not a long-run trend. The lowest per-GPU rate went from $0.539 on 2026-10-06 to $0.649 on 2026-10-10.

How this price is calculated
All prices on this page are normalized to a per-GPU hourly rate using each offer's authoritative GPU count, so that raw price is divided by the number of GPUs it actually covers; some offers report price as already per-GPU, so those are used as-listed. An offer with a missing, zero, or invalid GPU count is excluded entirely rather than published at a guessed rate.
No offers were excluded from this snapshot for a missing or invalid price. No offers were dropped as price outliers in this snapshot.
Only the cheapest qualifying offer per provider is shown in the table above. This page regenerates at most once per hour.
