Question Recently built a server to sell, what gpu to go with?

[Catlover15]

Hey guys, recently I built a server for some guy who requested I did it for him. He said he doesn’t care about the components as long as the perform well.

Ram: 256GB
CPU: Ryzen Threadripper 7970x

Debating between an RTX 5090 Ti or maybe an A6000. No idea what to go with here, help me out.
No, budget is not a thing here.

A server to be reliable and to also work behind the scenes? 5090 potentially melting connector wouldn't be trusted. Get something using normal 8 pin.

"server", for what use case"

5090?
256GB RAM?

Why?


This is a multi thousand dollar system.
Components is something you should have determined up front. As in, a written contract.

We haven’t made the contract yet but we need to type one out and finish the system. You didn’t help me figure out what gpu.

Ok, so what should I go with?

what is the use case of the server?
It may not even need a video card.

The use of the server is AI model training, so yeah it will need a video card. Thinking of any video card with good vram and cuda cores. That’s why I suggested the 5090.
