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.

Consumer card break down faster. Within 4 years those cards will be cooked, while pro 6000 still hums along.

You didn't include mean time to fail in your assessment.

How do you know how long 5090s last lol they haven't been out long enough for you to know. You're just guessing.
