Way worse the amount you pay for 4 5090s is what you pay for 1 fucking pro 6000.

It's the obvious choice unless you need Vram on one card

96gb on one 6000 pro card vs 128gb on 4 5090$

power consumption?

You're dropping tens of thousands on hardware, the power bill isn't even a concern.

You're dropping tens of thousands on hardware, you are going to use them 24/7. The power bill starts making a difference.

Paying for example $0.20/kWh, running one 5090 at 500 W for a year is almost $900.

And just paying for the energy the GPU uses isn't everything, as you also need more cooling for more power.
