3 prediction markets price this story:

• Above $0.50 — the market puts it at 68%, closing 1 May 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the average hourly cost of renting an NVIDIA RTX 5090 for computing exceeds $0.50 during April 2027. It resolves to No if that average stays at or below $0.50. Readers often mistake this rule for applying to retail prices of RTX 50-series hardware rather than the specific rental cost metric.
• Above $1.75 — the market puts it at 6%, closing 1 Mar 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the average hourly cost of NVIDIA RTX 5090 compute exceeds $1.75 during February 2027. It resolves to No if that average stays at or below $1.75 for the entire month. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a $5,999 Surface Dev Box as the relevant price point, but only the RTX 5090 compute cost counts.
• Above $2.00 — the market puts it at 2%, closing 1 Jun 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the average hourly cost of renting NVIDIA RTX 5090 computing power exceeds $2 during May 2027. It resolves to No if that average stays at or below $2 for the entire month. Readers often mistake the linked news story about current PC prices for the actual metric being tracked.
