Hi can anyone advise me on the spec below. Is this a good use of money for GPU rendering? 4x GPUS.
Can this be optimised for similar budget?
Thanks, Dan.

I genuinely don't know with any certainty as this is WAY above my pay grade unfortunately.

However, I can't help but wonder if an AMD build would be better. I'm not convinced a 6 core CPU is going to feed those GPUs at the rate they can handle with any sort of rendering instructions.

Just did a quick double check. The 7800X only has 24 PCIe lanes. I think you would want a system with 64..... which would be AMD.... but there doesn't seem to be an option for 4 2080Tis. It's a strange predicament to be honest.

There's no way that 4 2080Tis are going to be fed by 24 lanes while running a fast M2 drive and various other operations.

Ok, thanks all.

seems this build isn’t quite right. I’ll try AMD. Seems to be a 2 card max there though.
