Recommendation for a 4-GPU motherboard

[davorin]

Good evening (o;

Is maybe someone already using a motherboard that can hold 4 RTX2080Ti in blower design?

I thought of maybe going the X399 Taichi way....but not sure about thermal consequences....


Or is the money better spent on a more powerful NVidia GPU?


thanks in advance

Do You need one for Threadripper or You are open for Intel as well?

Well from my experience....AMD CPUs have much more PCIe channels than Intel....also price wise PCIe lanes/price...

OTOH Intel CPUs are much faster in processing from my experience, well..never used any workstation Intel CPUs...
But then again...for example flip fluids doesn't much benefit from more than 8 cores...

So it basically all comes down to price.....not the 2 additional GPUs...but also the enterprise Blender Octane license (o;
