Hi guys

I have read alot of posts on this topica put still have a lot of ???

Trying to build a media server PC because 20-30k for a real media server is out of my range.

-Shold I go Intel or AMD.D I need the new Threadriper 2970 or some lower model can be good enaugh.
If i go Intel should it be I9 or Xeon

2x Graphic card 2080 ti od Quadro P4000.??
I have some spec in attach that I tried to build a configuration that you can see in attachment.

Also I have an option from XI machines for their Resolume server which is a tested option and probably more secure option.
Spec is also attached


Thanks for the help

Because the render work is done on one (your mail) gpu you dont need to get a 2nd high end card...

When talking about Outputs you will also need to tell what resolution these outputs should have. Also a point is if the outputs need to be framesync (softedge).

8x 1080 = 2x 4k. This can be done with one card and hardware to split the 2 x 4k signals into 8 x 1080 after.

For some performance stats you can search this doc.
