Earning Potential: Home GPU Hosting

Understand the core concepts and potential revenue from hosting GPU compute power in your home with Topslices.

The Core Idea

Every home has access to electrical power. Modern servers, especially those with high-performance GPUs, require significant power but can perform valuable computational tasks. Businesses and researchers constantly need access to this compute power, particularly for AI, rendering, and simulations. Topslices connects these dots:

  • We utilize your home's power to run efficient GPU servers 24/7.
  • We rent this compute capacity (as GPU hours) to users on the distributed compute market.
  • You earn a significant share of the revenue generated.

Capacity & Hardware

Most standard homes can support the power draw of approximately 40 high-performance GPUs without needing major electrical upgrades. We use efficient hardware designed for continuous operation.

High-demand GPUs (like Nvidia H100/H200 or similar classes) command strong rental rates, typically ranging from $2 to $3+ per hour per GPU.

Example Calculation

Here's a simplified look at the potential yearly earnings:

  • Assumptions: 40 GPUs, $2.50/hour average rental rate, 100% uptime (theoretical max).
  • Hourly Revenue: 40 GPUs × $2.50/hour = $100
  • Daily Revenue: $100/hour × 24 hours = $2,400
  • Yearly Gross Revenue: $2,400/day × 365 days = $876,000
  • Your Share (85%): $876,000 × 0.85 = $744,600 (Potential Gross)

Disclaimer: This is an illustrative example using optimistic assumptions. Actual earnings will vary based on real-world factors like market rental rates, actual GPU uptime, specific hardware deployed, and electricity costs (which Topslices accounts for in its model). The $600,000 figure often cited represents a strong potential under favorable conditions.
