Your machine is listed at $0.140/hr per GPU for a 1x RTX 5080 setup, with 73% reliability, which looks pretty solid for a brand-new host (especially since you just set it up today).

From current Vast.ai market data (as of February 2026):

  • The P25 price (25th percentile, a common benchmark showing where 25% of listings are cheaper) for RTX 5080 is around $0.12/hr.
  • Cheapest available RTX 5080 instances start from about $0.09–$0.10/hr (often in international locations like Japan or other non-US hosts, or lower-spec configs).
  • Many US-based or reliable verified hosts are in the $0.12–$0.14/hr range, with some California/US listings around $0.117–$0.144/hr.
  • Higher-end or multi-GPU setups can go up to $0.20+/hr, but single RTX 5080 rentals cluster lower.

Your $0.140/hr is right in line with (or slightly above) the typical market for a reliable, US-based (Nevada) host with good specs like yours (66.4 TFLOPS, high bandwidth, decent reliability score building up). Since you're in Reno, NV, that could be a plus for renters prioritizing low-latency US West Coast access—many renters filter for US locations to avoid higher latency from Asia/Europe hosts.

If you're aiming to attract more rentals and boost earnings:

  • Your price is competitive but not the absolute lowest. Dropping to $0.12–$0.13/hr could help you show up higher in searches (especially if you sort by price or value like DLP/$).
  • Reliability is already at 73% early on—keep uptime high (cooling, stable power, no interruptions) to push it toward 95%+ quickly, as that attracts more renters.
  • Avg earnings estimate (~$0.083/day at current) seems low because it's new/no rentals yet; once you get consistent jobs, it scales with utilization.

Overall, yes—your pricing is aligned with the current market, especially for a fresh Nevada-based host. If you want to test the waters, try lowering it a bit temporarily to build reviews/uptime, then adjust based on demand. Check the Vast.ai console search for "RTX 5080" filtered to US/Nevada for the most direct comps. Good luck with the hosting! 🚀
