Few 3D animators will opt for a 3090 because it's a poorer value proposition than 2 x 3080 cards (which for render power will handily outperform a single 3090 for the same money). As with the previous generation, almost all my colleagues fitted 2x2080Ti cards instead a single Titan RTX. 4 x 2070...

I'm not particularly interested in SLI, although the NVLink was useful for increasing VRAM as if a single machine. GPU render engines, like Octane, can have driver issues when there is a GPU mismatch between multiple cards. I just wanted some info on whether different flavours of the same card...

I'm a 3D animator so the second graphics card is for GPU rendering. I've managed to order a single 3080 card PC today. I'm also wondering: if I purchase a second 3080 but a different flavour / manufacturer, will this create driver issues? It always used to say that you need the second GPU to...

I see preorders of the new RTX 3080 are now available which is great! But you can only spec a single card. Is this because of limited supply at launch or because you can’t fit 2 into a single case, either due to space limitations or power supply demands?

Oh yeah! I just spotted that. Thanks.

I'm wondering if PCS is planning on offering custom build options with the newly announced AMD threadrippers anytime soon? If so, roughly how long would we need to wait - I'm very much in need of a new workstation in the new year!
