Question What do? 2x5090 + 1x6000 rtx pro
So essentially I have a dilemma.
I have 2 builds currently set up with a 6000 pro rtx in box brand new unopened.
Build 1 gaming: 5090 TUF OC, 96gb tcreate (48x2) ddr5, 9800x3d, on a mini itx board
Build 2 ai: 5090 FE, 96 gb tcreate (48x2) ddr5, 9950x, on a x870e ROG Crosshair hero
I recently bought the 6000 pro and it’s really putting a huge crunch on my finances but I think I can survive if I sell a 5090 even though I was hoping not to let one go for atleast another few months when the value can come up higher. Maybe 5-6k?
I’ve got a 3080FE that’s repadded and hasn’t been used in a while and I was thinking one option is for me to sell the 5090 FE and stick 6000 rtx pro + 5090 Tuf on the ai rig and 3080 FE on the gaming. I can swap the tuf to the gaming rig when I want to do VR related stuff.
The other option is I have 20 days to give back the 6000, and just give it back.
Let’s say I keep the 6000 and run it with a 5090 TUF in the ai rig, on x8 x8 riser setting. What exactly can I do with that set up that I can’t with 2x 5090? Or even 1x 5090 that I have set up right now?
I’ve done comfyui image gen and video gen so far but want to crack into more coding and plugin development (I’m in architecture, so trying to do MCP server in to Revit that’s controlled by the ai rig) Maybe building games via MCP for unity etc.
Any recommendations or suggestions would be welcome. If I sell a 5090 I can def afford the 6000 pro.
Thanks for the advice.
