RTX 5090 by the hour

Glossary

Answer in brief

The 8 terms you meet when you read about RTX 5090 by the hour, each in one sentence, with an entry that says what it changes for a buyer.

Terms

  • GPU-hour

    A GPU-hour is one GPU rented for one hour, the unit in which rental prices are compared.

  • GPU memory (VRAM)

    GPU memory, or VRAM, is the memory on the card itself, which must hold the model and its working data.

  • Billing unit

    The billing unit is the step in which rented time is rounded up before the hourly price is applied: the second, the minute or the hour.

  • Boot time

    Boot time is the time between asking for a machine and being able to use it.

  • On demand

    On demand means you start a machine when you want it and stop it when you are done, paying only for the time it ran.

  • Availability label

    An availability label is the mark beside a price on this site that says whether the GPU could be started on the day it was checked.

  • Workstation card

    A workstation card is a professional graphics card, such as the RTX Pro 6000, with more memory than a consumer card of the same generation.

  • Prepaid term

    A prepaid term is a rental paid ahead for a fixed period in exchange for a lower hourly figure.
