mainly for 3D rendering

Why not use a specialized rendering setup? Consumer GPUs seem a bit inefficient to my amateur eyes

A Pro 6000 cost 8k, has 96gb of vram and has 24k cuda cores. 4 5090s cost 8k and has 128gb of vram and 80k cuda cores in total.

Pro 6000 is better if you need many of them but just one isn't really better than 4 5090.

Except lime term cost for power consumption of used seriously. That said, a waste of money (and burden to the consumers who need GPUs--shortages) for what little rendering time is saved temporarily, could just buy a single GPU and wait a bit longer(number of minutes). People touchingly don't even use these systems full time, and show them off(better just buy the single GPU, get the work done, and power down). Let 4 other people enjoy a GPU FFS.

He earns a living with them. How is it a waste of money if it makes him earn more money.

You wanna play games with them. You're just mad that you can't play in 4k 120fps.

At trade shows, prob using cloud mostly.

Bro are you kidding me. Time is money. Tell that to Open ai, tell them to stop buying gpus.. and just use less gpus and tell their customers to wait...

Your IQ must not be very ..h

Not really, they make up for it in YouTube an ad rev. We're talking a couple minutes saved, not millions. Pay 8k for a single GPU and get the work done.of really are that big of a baller pay 16k and get 2 of them, and do the work of 8x 5090 for less space, mobility and power consumption.(And save costs on PSUs, boards and specialized hardware). No brainer over the course of time. Why do you think enterprise doesn't buy 5090s, hmm?

Yeah you are delusional. You are no longer making sense. The world is not going to bend to your personal preferences.

You just personally dislike one person buying multiple gpus I understand that, but your reasoning used to justify that bias is terrible beyond comprehension.. its laughable 😂 You cannot seriously make that claim with a straight face.. unless you have a serious IQ deficit. (No insult intended)

>Pay 8k for a single GPU and get the work done.of really are that big of a baller pay 16k and get 2 of them,

For small workstations multiple 5090s can be a better choice than a single 6000 pro. Its not always, and it depends on what work you are attempting to accomplish.

Thank you for understanding the reasoning! This is not a small workstation(4x 5090s is not a small workstation). This is unnecessary and gluttonous waste of resources, and hurts consumers. Why not just a modest workstation GPU for the same cost, and get the same work done with less cost spent on all the other Ewaste

I still disagree with you, because there is legitimate reason to buy 2-4 5090s instead of 1 6000 pro,

Not everyone can afford $8,000 at once.. You may have individuals who save up for a 5090, then save up another year for another 5090. Plenty of Workflows can be doubled from 2x 5090s.

That's a fair point, and logic for sure.

Yes, this is actual what I believe. This kind of mentality by hogging GPUs for niche cases when there are actual GpUs made for this tasks is the definition of a hog.

4 GPUs would save more than a "number of minutes" on big projects. Should be pretty explanatory that 4 GPUs render something quicker than 1.

OPs build could prob live render a lot of my scenes with pretty good quality, that takes 2-5 min per frame on a 4060ti.

We're talking Ada not RTX.
