Please only answer if you know quite a bit about this and don't be guessing, thanks in advance.

Was wanting to know info all around on rendering workstations in detail, but I will keep this simple for now.

How many GPU's can be utilized when rendering in Blender/Maya.

Advanced details needed, does it utilize 2 GPU's 100% each when running 2x16? or is it a XX% gain when adding 2 in the mix?

Would it be better to start off with say a single 1080ti or RTX, or should I go for a Quadro P4000 single?

I want to hop into the rendering scene to learn and am lost how things correlate to one another working in a workstation environment.

Currently I have built a station for gaming and love it, looking to delve deeper into more sophisticated things.

I7 5820k
MSI PRO SLI x99 MOBO
850W PSU
single GTC strix 970
Corsair H100i
SSD 250gb
HDD x2 2TB storage total
16GB corsair Vengeance, I believe its 3000 or 3200? cant recall.

Just lmk in high detail if possible, I will continue reading.
