Always doing back-of-envelope math when trying new hardware. For a 4090 at full tilt (~350W inference load): At California prices ($0.30/kWh) you're paying ~$0.10/hr in electricity on top of your GPU rental. At EU prices ($0.30-0.40/kWh) it's even more. For a small cluster (say 8x H100s running a customer-facing app), monthly power alone is about 5,600 kWh — a few hundred bucks just in electricity. Does anyone here actually factor electricity or carbon into their compute decisions? Or is it just "cheapest GPU wins"? Curious where peoples' heads are at.
