Here's exactly what it earns — every number below is settled, measured at the wall, and published as raw data you can check.

Snapshot July 2, 2026. Everything below is measured — settled marketplace payouts and wall-socket power telemetry from our own hardware — not calculator projections. We build nuza, a GPU compute exchange; this rig is our first host, and publishing its books is how we'd want every platform to treat us.

The rig

8× NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 (Blackwell, 96 GB each — 768 GB of VRAM total) in a single server in Toronto, on a dual-PSU 240 V feed. It currently rents on Vast.ai — that's where renter demand is today. The same machine enrolls on nuza as the fleet grows.

Headline numbers

Revenue is settled host-side payouts — money that actually landed, not dashboard accruals. Power is integrated from PSU wall telemetry over the identical window. Even at Ontario's worst commodity rate (OEB rate table ↗, excluding delivery), electricity is a rounding error on a card this class.

What occupancy does at each price

We ran the listing at eight price points over 119.3 settled hours and recorded real occupancy — this is the demand curve for this card class, measured with our own money:

Read it bottom-up: demand for RTX PRO 6000 is deep enough that the rig stays essentially full at $1.20, and in this window it fell off a cliff near $1.50. As of the July 2 model run, the revenue-max plateau estimate was $1.25–$1.37/GPU·hr (~$244/day at full occupancy) — flagged low-confidence. The live model snapshot updates independently and currently reads lower (wider plateau, ~71% expected occupancy up there — worth reading before quoting either number). Runs since July 2 include a $1.50 stretch that filled 87.5% — the cliff may be moving, and we're testing it. Current list price and occupancy always live in that snapshot, not in this prose.

What we learned operating as a host

1. Occupancy beats headline price. $0.45 at 99% occupancy out-earns $1.50 at 38%. New hosts who price high and idle are leaving most of the money on the table.
2. Power anxiety is overblown for workstation-class cards. 2.4% of revenue, measured at the wall. The real costs are capital and idle time.
3. The payout experience is the worst part of hosting. Weekly invoices, payout minimums, payment-processor holds — none of it is necessary. It's why nuza settles hosts at the moment of settlement, instantly, to their wallet, with the fee published and enforced on-chain. How hosting works on nuza →

Raw data

Don't take our word for any number on this page — the files are public. Use them, cite them, try to poke holes in them:

1. price-experiments.csv — every run to date. The table above shows the 8 in the July 2 snapshot; runs since then are in the file, including a $0.70 stretch where occupancy fell — exactly the kind of thing this page exists to show.
2. power-daily.csv — wall kWh by day.
3. settled-revenue.csv — dated running totals, including the $1,174.94 quoted above.
4. smart-pricer-snapshot-latest.json — the pricing model, verbatim; updates independently of this prose.
5. README.txt — columns and methodology.

Methodology & sources

Revenue: settled payout ledger for this machine, June 19, 2026 → July 2, 2026 (13.6 days). Occupancy: per-run settled-hours ledger from our pricing engine (period-average occupancy is excluded — long-running grandfathered rentals contaminate it). Power: 53,880 wall-watt samples at ~20 s cadence from both PSUs, trapezoid-integrated over the window; gaps >10 min excluded. Questions? Ask in the Discord.
