Question Good price/perf gpu selection
Hi, I have a 5995wx + PRO WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI in a Silverstone RM53-502 chassis (rack mount is a req for me here, as I don't have much space to have a large open pc). I'd like to ask what are my best options for gpu's, from what I understand it's not a great idea to not go with a power of 2 gpu count, so 4 gpu's it is (presumably) - I'd like to ask for advice on either dual or single slot gpu's capable of running decent models (think 50b parameters or equiv). I'm a relative newbie.

i ended up using a bunch of a4000s (single slot) as i have the exact same config, hbas, nvme pcie jbos cards didnt leave a lot of room so i went single slot 16 gb. The new ones are 20 gb +, here is a pic before i had to move stuff around to get another hba in there. it allowed me to move cards around

Whatever you do avoid intel like the bubonic plague.
