I need to connect 8 logitech brio 4k cameras, what do you recommend?
So far I have thought:

Motherboard Asus X670-p
Ryzen 9 7950x3d
64GB Ram DDR5 Kinston or Corsair.
Nvidia RTX 4090 video card
2TB NVME drive, minimum 32000 megabyte per second
Two X300 4Tb disks each for raid
850w source certified 80 plus, I recommend thermaltake or corsiar
Cool be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, BK022
Corsair Carbide Spec Delta cabinet or similar

You will use up all of the USB bandwidth in your system by attempting to connect 8 Logitech BRIO cameras. Think about getting an internal capture card before you buy 8 BRIO cams.

I see this discussion is a few years old, but since I had considered a similar setup (I've since moved on to other things), I'll share my idea; perhaps it will help others.

Starting with an AM5 platform and following vmix's recommendations regarding PCIe CPU lanes,

here's a configuration for USB cameras, optimizing the setup suggested by ElianYmanol:

It combines a Ryzen 9 9950x (24 PCIe lanes + 4 USB 10Gbps ports)

and a 4-port USB Type-C USB 3.0 5Gbps PCIe card (Features 4x USB independent controllers)

installed on an Asus ROG Strix X670E E-gaming motherboard, which, according to its block diagram, can distribute the PCIe CPU lanes as follows:

PCIe 1 = x8 = GPU
PCIe 2 = x4 = 4 USB ports Type-C USB 3.0 5Gbps PCIe Card
m2_1 = x4 = m2 SSD
m2_2 = x4 = m2 SSD
m2_3 = x4 = m2 SSD
3 x 10Gbps USB ports

Knowing that the Brio 4K operates on USB 3.0 for 4K30p

by implementing the following setup, it would be possible to have 8 x Brio 4Ks at 4K30p

by installing a 4-Port USB Type-C USB 3.2 10Gbps PCIe Card (Features 4x USB independent controllers)

and using 10Gbps USB hubs while respecting the bandwidth of the USB ports

it would "theoretically" be possible to have 14 x Brio 4Ks on this configuration

or 28 in 1080p60 (Brio 4K via USB 2.0 for 1080p60)

all this is just theory

because I think that in practice, the system will surely reach its limits after a certain number of uses Cameras

This can only be verified through real-world testing, but I think a number of cameras could work.
