Turn Your Idle GPU Into Cash
If you own a gaming PC with an NVIDIA GPU (GTX 1060 or newer), you're sitting on an untapped income source. The average gaming PC is idle 90% of the time — while you sleep, work, or watch videos. That's wasted potential.
The Opportunity
AI companies desperately need GPU power for training models and running inference. They're willing to pay for access to your idle GPU. Griddly connects you to this demand — you share your GPU when you're not using it, they pay you.
Unlike crypto mining (which depends on volatile coin prices and uses 100% of your GPU 24/7), GPU sharing for AI is:
- Stable income — not tied to crypto markets
- Zero gaming impact — auto-pauses when you play
- GPU-friendly — lower temps than gaming
- Flexible payouts — PayPal, crypto, gift cards
How It Works
Griddly Hub is a lightweight app that runs in the background on your PC. Here's the simple flow:
You Share
Griddly Hub uses your GPU when idle
AI Runs
Companies run AI workloads on your GPU
You Earn
Get paid based on compute provided

How Much Can You Earn?
Earnings depend on your GPU model and how many hours you share. Here's what users typically earn (based on 8-12 hours of sharing per day):
| GPU Model | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| RTX 4090 Top Tier | $150-180 | $5-6 |
| RTX 4080 Top Tier | $100-130 | $3.3-4.3 |
| RTX 4070 Ti | $80-100 | $2.6-3.3 |
| RTX 3090 | $90-120 | $3-4 |
| RTX 3080 | $70-90 | $2.3-3 |
| RTX 3070 | $50-70 | $1.6-2.3 |
| RTX 3060 Ti | $45-60 | $1.5-2 |
| RTX 3060 | $35-50 | $1.1-1.6 |
| RTX 2080 Ti | $40-55 | $1.3-1.8 |
| RTX 2070 | $30-40 | $1-1.3 |
| GTX 1080 Ti | $25-35 | $0.8-1.1 |
| GTX 1070 | $20-30 | $0.6-1 |
Real Example
A user with an RTX 3080 sharing 10 hours/day (while sleeping and at work) earns approximately $75-85/month. That's $900+/year from a PC that would otherwise sit idle!

Maximize Your Earnings
Pro tips from our top earners to squeeze every dollar from your GPU:
Share During Sleep
Set Griddly Hub to automatically start when you're AFK. 8 hours of sleep = 8 hours of earning.
Keep GPU Cool
Good cooling means better performance and more tasks assigned to your GPU.
Stable Internet
Wired connection > WiFi. Stable internet means fewer dropped tasks.
Complete Quests
Daily and weekly quests give bonus rewards on top of regular earnings.
Is It Safe?
Safety is our top priority. Here's how Griddly Hub protects you:
Sandboxed Execution
All AI workloads run in isolated containers. They cannot access your files, browser, or personal data.
Temperature Monitoring
Griddly Hub constantly monitors GPU temperature and automatically throttles or pauses if it gets too hot.
Auto-Pause Gaming
The moment you launch a game or GPU-intensive app, sharing pauses instantly. Zero impact on your gaming.
Resource Limits
You control exactly how much GPU/CPU/RAM Griddly Hub can use. Set it and forget it.
No Background Noise
AI workloads are quieter than gaming. Your fans won't spin up as much.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this affect my gaming performance?
No. Griddly Hub automatically pauses when you launch a game or any GPU-intensive application. You won't notice any difference while gaming.
How do I get paid?
Earnings accumulate in your Griddly wallet. You can withdraw via PayPal, bank transfer, crypto, or redeem for gift cards (Amazon, Steam, etc.).
Is this like crypto mining?
No. Your GPU runs AI workloads (image generation, model training) for businesses, not mining. It's more stable, predictable, and doesn't depend on crypto prices.
What's the minimum payout?
$10 minimum for PayPal/crypto, $25 for bank transfer. Most users reach this within the first week.
Does it damage my GPU?
No. Griddly Hub monitors temperatures and throttles automatically. AI workloads are actually gentler than gaming (lower temps, no sudden spikes).
Can I use my PC while earning?
Yes! Light tasks (browsing, Netflix, Discord) work fine. Only pause for gaming or video editing.
