# The Compound Multiplier

As a Dispersed Node Operator, your hardware performance affects job execution rewards through the **Compound Multiplier**. Higher-performance hardware means higher rewards per hour worked.

### Baseline

An **NVIDIA RTX 4090** has a multiplier of **1.0**.

### Multiplier Factors

| Factor           | Weight | Description           |
| :--------------- | :----- | :-------------------- |
| GPU Cores        | 36%    | CUDA core count       |
| VRAM             | 26%    | Video memory capacity |
| Network          | 15%    | Connection speed      |
| GPU Clock        | 8%     | Clock speed           |
| Memory Bandwidth | 8%     | Memory transfer rate  |
| CPU              | 4%     | Processor performance |

### Example Multipliers

| GPU      | Approximate Multiplier |
| :------- | :--------------------- |
| RTX 5090 | \~1.81                 |
| RTX 4090 | 1.00 (baseline)        |
| RTX 4080 | \~0.90                 |
| RTX 3090 | \~0.85                 |
| RTX 3080 | \~0.75                 |
| RTX 3060 | \~0.50                 |

<Note>
  Actual multipliers depend on your specific hardware configuration and are calculated when your Node registers.
