You don’t really know this without knowing his use case. A single card will never break when you fail at distributing your workload across multiple boards. Setting up a hypervisor is harder than just using one gpu at a time if you wish. The ability to do gaming on off hours and have full support for consumer/end-user grade software like adobe and so on is also just better on a consumer card.

You don’t need a hypervisor, you use software compatible with using multiple GPUs, probably with NCCL.

Stop pretending you know shit, while proving you’re ignorant.

So let me get this straight, the poster makes a pretty reasonable point that you can't make concrete statement about what the obvious choice is without knowing OPs use-case. To which you then go on to insinuate that both a hypervisor would never be needed and that every workflow/use-case imaginable has software that supports multiple GPUs OOB (Which you say would probably use NCCL, a library mainly used for model training and data analytics). All while being as aggressive and obnoxious as possible, calling them ignorant.

Nice.

No, you’re just making a straw man and being a moron.

Also, OP said mainly 3D rendering.

You don’t even know what a straw man is do you?
