An RTX 3080 can earn up to ~$240/month per card on Clore.ai, and that ~$240 comes from the bare-metal contract route: the top contract rate for the RTX 3080, from 2 GPUs on 30-day terms, with the cards working around the clock. Contract capacity goes through the Clore team directly instead of a console setting. Prefer to start today? List per minute at your own price and a 3080 earns up to ~$125/month per card when it stays rented all month at the top of current renter prices. 52 RTX 3080 servers are rented right now.
The 3080 is one of the consumer cards Clore sells both ways: by the minute on the open marketplace, and as fixed-term bare-metal capacity that starts at two cards. List per minute today and talk to the team about contracts once you have a pair or more.
The jobs that land here are SDXL at 1024 by 1024 with a tiled VAE, quantised 8B models and small adapter runs, and many of them run for hours. Put the exact memory size in your listing: a 12 GB version of this card exists too, and naming yours brings in renters whose jobs are sized for it.
Clore also sells RTX 3080 capacity as fixed-term bare-metal contracts, starting from two GPUs and 30 days, and that is the route behind the ~$240 figure. Contract capacity is agreed with the Clore team for the full term. Talk to us about supplying bare-metal capacity.
On the open marketplace you name an on-demand rate per day for the machine and, if you want spot orders too, a floor for bids; renters pay only for the minutes they use. Listed this way a 3080 earns up to ~$125/month per card, and when every card in a rig is a 3080, on-demand renters can book part of it so several of them share the machine.
Locking CLORE is an optional extra on per-minute rentals. Put tokens against your 3080 server's MFP score and it collects CLORE rewards for every minute it is rented, while each rental paid in BTC, USDT or USDC leaves you more of the payment. It sits alongside your per-minute rental income rather than replacing any of it.
The tiers hold 2,000, 4,000 and 3,000 CLORE per MFP point. Tiers 1 and 2 earn rewards, Tier 3 raises what you keep on non-CLORE rentals, and partial fills count proportionally.
The rewards come out of network emission, divided among locked servers, so a larger lock takes a larger slice of a pool that every locked server shares.
Per-minute rentals settle while they run. Each rented minute lands in your balance in the coin the renter used, and you withdraw to your own wallet.
On-demand orders lock in your listed rate for the renter's whole session, with no outbidding, which suits long SDXL queues and all-day model serving.
While the server is free, spot renters bid from your floor upward, and the top bid holds it until an on-demand booking or a better bid arrives. That turns spare hours into paid ones.
Per-minute payouts arrive in BTC, CLORE, USDT or USDC; contract terms are agreed with the Clore team. Payouts and fees →
Both routes are open to a 3080. Which one fits depends on how many cards you have and how you like to work, and MFP can sit on top of the per-minute side.
From 2 GPUs on 30-day terms, agreed with the Clore team. Suits operators with several 3080s who want one customer for the whole term.
Your own spot and on-demand prices, billed by the minute. Suits a single card or a mixed rig, and you can start the same day.
A CLORE lock on the server adds rewards to every rented minute and a larger share of each BTC, USDT or USDC payment.

Onboarding happens on the system you already run: the agent installs onto Ubuntu or HiveOS, and the one step specific to this card is saying which 3080 you have.
Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 LTS, or a HiveOS rig, on x86_64 with NVIDIA GPUs. AMD is not supported. The installer does not fetch drivers, so nvidia-smi must already return your card.
The dashboard hands you a single line to run as root. It installs the agent and registers the machine against your account in the same step. Stable, beta and legacy channels are available.
Because two different boards ship under this name, the listing description is where you remove the ambiguity. Renters check memory before anything else and a surprise costs you the repeat booking.
Put in your day rates for spot and on-demand, and Price Coach in My Servers shows how they compare with rented 3080 servers. For contract capacity, message the Clore team through support instead.
At the top of the range, yes. On a bare-metal contract an RTX 3080 can earn up to ~$240/month per card, against up to ~$125/month per card listed on the per-minute marketplace. Contract capacity starts at 2 GPUs with 30-day terms and is agreed with the Clore team, so the next step is a message to support. Listing per minute needs no agreement at all: install the agent, set your price, and the pair can earn while you talk to us.
Renters whose jobs fit in 10 GB: SDXL at 1024 by 1024 with a tiled VAE, quantised 8B models at 8-bit or 4-bit, and small adapter training runs. Memory is the first thing a renter checks, so state 10 GB clearly in the listing and the renters sized for it find you straight away. A renter who gets exactly what the listing promised is the one most likely to book again.
Per-minute rentals settle as they run, so your balance grows while the order is live, in whichever of BTC, CLORE, USDT or USDC the renter used, and you can move it to your own wallet whenever you choose. The server only accepts the coins you enable. For bare-metal contracts, the terms, including how you are paid, are agreed with the Clore team when you supply the capacity.
Not directly, because we do not publish a memory-junction figure in the marketplace data and a renter has no way to filter on it. It matters indirectly, and that is the part worth acting on. GDDR6X on this board sits under the cooler along with the GPU die, and a rented card runs at sustained load for hours rather than in gaming bursts. A server that throttles under that load finishes jobs slower than its specification implies, and the renter who notices simply picks a different listing next time. Treat thermals as something that protects your occupancy rather than something that appears in a search filter.
Directly. Every listing shows a reliability score, the share of time the server has been online, and renters can sort the marketplace by it or set a minimum before they browse. A server that stays up keeps that score high and stays in front of them. Keep the machine online and let the agent run continuously rather than switching it on when you feel like it.
It changes what your listing is good for, so say which one you have. NVIDIA shipped the RTX 3080 in a 10 GB version and later a 12 GB version, with different memory configurations, and both list under the RTX 3080 name; the up-to figures on this page come from listings under that name. The commercial difference is that 12 GB clears a threshold 10 GB does not for several workloads, and renters do look for it. Put the exact memory size in the server description instead of leaving the model name to do the work.
A renter picks a card by whether their model allocates, so it pays to know the requests your server serves best. These are memory footprints from standard precision sizes, not benchmark results.
The workload this tier exists for. It runs for hours rather than minutes, which is the kind of order that keeps a listing occupied.
Host setup guide →Your 760 GB/s of bandwidth is comfortably enough for these, so quantised chat and coding models run briskly on a 3080.
Payouts and fees →Small fine-tuning runs fit with room left for activations, and a training job books the card for hours at a stretch, which is exactly the order a host wants.
MFP mechanics →Three boards that often share a shelf, compared by what one card can earn on Clore.ai, using the same method as the figure at the top of this page, plus a live count of rented servers.
The bare-metal contract route, from 2 GPUs on 30-day terms, is what lifts the 3080 above both Ada boards · per-minute listing is open to all three
Install commands, MFP tier capacities and payout details come from the Clore.ai host documentation. Where those pages and this one differ, the docs are the current version.
Worth reading before you write your listing: it shows renters which jobs fit in 10 GB, so you can describe your server in the terms they search for.
List a single 3080 per minute today and earn up to ~$125/month per card, or bring two or more to a bare-metal contract for up to ~$240/month per card. Either way the cards are working for you.
