Jimbo55 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Hi Houdini users, I am working on a new system build and wanted your thoughts about using a gaming card(4090) vs a workstation card (RTX a5500)? Main motivator behind this is wattage and thermals. Power consumption is not the concern, but raising the temp in the room by using a gaming card. Plus its very hard to get a 4090 that isn't drastically marked up to where I might as well get a workstation card for the same price. I am eyeing a AMD 7950x(CPU), but am waiting to see the reviews of the new 7000x3D chips coming in the next few weeks. Main reasons for the machine: Motion graphics and future 3D/Houdini work(hopefully). 3D side will be Houdini/redshift Any advice/input is welcome. Thank you for your input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
