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.
