A user reported noticeable variations in iteration speed across different days when renting the same RTX 5090 model on Runpod for training. Under identical settings, the speed increased from 1.97 it/s to 2.73 it/s.
The author points out that in hourly-billed GPU rental scenarios, this directly impacts cost and user experience, prompting a question to the community to see if others have encountered similar issues.
