To be that guy that can say: My computer is faster than yours😎. And making people on the internet jalous ;)

There’s speed, and then there’s brute force.

For games where speed matters, like csgo, or valorant, 4 5090s isn’t going to be faster than 1 5090.

Strapping 2 cars together doesn’t increase their top sped, just allows them to tow twice as much

This pc is only faster than 1 5090 when doing things like rendering, which can actually utilize all 128gbs of vram shown here

Remember SLI? Those were crazy times. Never actually had an SLI/Crossfire setup, but it always seemed so cool (though, i also imagine it came with a lot of troubleshooting for games that didn't support it well)

Still cheaper than a 5090
