Hello all,


2x 3090FE with Asus Prime X570 Pro. The FE's are 3-slot cards and I don't want to use slot 4 for heat reasons (even after thermal repadding the memory junction rises to 80 degrees Celsius).

So I'll put the second gpu in slot 6. I have a scene that requires more than 24Gb (Maya V-Ray GPU), so I cannot render it with GPU's. An NVLink would be absolutely wonderful, but it's extremely frustrating that Google gives zero hits when searching for 6-slot NVLink.

Any info for larger NVLink Bridges ? Please ?

Sadly, I haven't really come across anything over 4-slot. When stacking multiple cards, blowers are the way to go, which would solve these issues instantly. But Nvidia seems to have abandoned the prosumer market to encourage everyone to move over to their Quadro (or whatever they're calling it now).

I'm afraid switching gpu's isn't as simple as it sounds. CPU then for anything larger than 24Gb.

I once bought a Quadro 5000. It was absolutely not worth the money. Never again.
