Hello people,
I am currently in the process of buying a new PC for using Blender.
Because of budget limitations I can only afford one GeForce RTX 3090 at the moment.
However, in the future I would like to buy a second one and connect them via NVLink.
After doing some research I realised that between the different brands that use the RTX 3090 chip (EVGA, Gigabyte, ASUS, MSI etc.), there isn’t much variation in terms of performance. They all perform the same, more or less - please correct me if I’m wrong.
If that’s actually the case, my worry is this:
If I get a second card in the future to connect them via NVLink, the card must be exactly the same brand and type as my first one.
Is any of the brands ‘safer’ than the others, in terms of having that same card in production after a few years from now?
Are some of the brands more risky in terms of discontinuing their cards sooner than their competitors?
Many thanks in advance for any help and advice!
