It can cost a lot to run a GPU, especially at full load. The 4090 stock pulls 500 watts of power under full load[0], which is 12 kWh/day or just under 4380 kWh

It can cost a lot to run a GPU, especially at full load. The 4090 stock pulls 500 watts of power under full load[0], which is 12 kWh/day or just under 4380 kWh a year, or over $450 in a year assuming $0.10-$0.11/kWh for average residential rates. The only variable is whether or not training requires the same power draw as hitting it with furmark.

- judge2020 3y agoThat's pretty much what Nicehash does, but after you pay for that electricity it isn't super profitable - especially if you use it for 1/3 or more of the day for your own purposes (gaming/etc).
- namtab00 3y ago> $0.10-$0.11/kWh for average residential rates you Americans don't know how good you have it...
- throwaway20222 3y agoThat’s a cheap rate for sure. Southern California is $.36/.59/.74 peak. Super expensive.

- judge2020 3y agoOnly Cali and the most northeastern states seem to have these high rates. Every other continental state is under $0.14 https://www.eia.gov/electricity/state/ https://www.eia.gov/electricity/state/
