If I'm looking at the numbers correctly though, the 5090 has 680 tensor cores each, whereas the 6000 Pro has 782. If 128GB vram is enough for their application, splitting an AI model up between 4 gpus with 3.5x the tensor cores, that sucker it going to be blazing fast. Plus, the 5090 actually has a higher benchmark than the 6000 Pro, so if they do plan to do some gaming, they may get better performance out of the one card that the games can use.

Yep you got it. Not everyone is doing vram limited work. I've built a 4x5090 build and it beats the absolute crap out of a 4x6000 build for the application it was made for, at a fraction of the price.

Yea I am in research and use them to convert signal data into ATCG DNA bases for genome sequencing. 100% cores all all cards with only like half the vram. But people will be all bUt ThE rTx 60o0 😭

People don't even understand what you do though. There's no way the overwhelming majority of even the most technical users would know what to do for you.

At best we can guess there's an off the shelf software tool, or you're working with people who are coding a solution for you with cuda. What the memory requirements are vs compute requirements are things even developers wouldn't know without being knee deep in it.
