Turn your idle GPU into monthly income
List your GPU with the Windows app or one Linux command. GHive sets one published rate for your GPU type, brings the renters and handles payments. You keep 80%, paid by UPI.
What does an RTX 4090 earn on GHive?
₹37.60 for every hour it’s rented. At 2 rented hours a day, where we are today, that’s around ₹1,562 a month after electricity at ₹8/kWh. At 6 hours a day, our 90-day target, it’s around ₹5,618.
You earn only while someone is renting. During the beta, payouts are released by hand when you ask, once you’ve earned ₹1,000.
GPU not on our rate card? Type it into the calculator below. A GPU we don’t publish a rate for is priced from the benchmark your machine runs when it joins. An RTX 3050, for example, is paid GHive's minimum rate: ₹8.80 an hour to you while it's rented.

An estimate, not a promise. Demand decides how many hours you’re rented, and we’re early, so Quiet is the realistic start. Power is metered at the wall for the whole machine, not just the GPU.

Host FAQ
What hardware can I list?
Any modern NVIDIA GPU — gaming cards (RTX 3060 and up), ex-mining rigs, or datacenter cards (A100/H100). You need a stable internet connection and reliable power.
How much of the rental do I keep?
You keep 80% of what the renter pays; GHive takes 20%. Rates are published per GPU type — you don't have to price your own card, and hosts can't undercut each other.
How do I get paid?
Add your UPI ID and PAN on your host dashboard — we need PAN to pay you legally. Earnings build up there and we transfer by UPI. We're in beta, so payouts are processed manually right now; just ask and we'll release one.
What's the guaranteed payout?
Founding Hosts may be offered a minimum monthly payout for their first 60 days, so you earn while we build demand. It tops your earnings up to the guaranteed amount and depends on keeping your GPU online — the exact terms are in the Host Agreement.
Is my machine safe?
Renter workloads run in an isolated container runtime with no access to your host system. You stay in control and can take your GPU offline anytime.
