Hi everyone,

I'm planning to build a new system, we need a second one for multiple productions.

I want to build a powerhouse with even more performance than my current one, so my question is, which GPU I should get, RTX 5080/5090 or A5000?

I'm doing all kind of stuff, most of my shows run with about 80-100 Inputs. Im running multiple BMD Decklink cards, NDI video, Dante, 4k VTs, Gfx etc.

Here is my current system:

ASUS PRO WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI
AMD THREADRIPPER 7960X STR5
GeForce RTX 4080 16 GB
128GB 6000MT/s DDR5 ECC
3x Samsung 990 Pro 2TB


My plan is to upgrade to:

ASUS PRO WS WRX90E-SAGE SE
RTX A5000 or Geforce RTX 5080/5090?
AMD THREADRIPPER PRO 7965WX SP6
Kingston 128GB 6000MT/s DDR5 ECC Reg CL32 DIMM Kit of 4 FURY Renegade Pro EXPO
3x Samsung 990 Pro 2TB

What dou you think about the system?
Any thoughts on RTX50xx vs. A5000?

I guess, RTX50xx is not tested with vmix yet, I'm just thinking about comparing the tech data of both cards. What is the limiting factor, espacially with decoding many SDI/NDI signals?

Cheers,
Stefan

i run the quadro type workstation cards myself. the gaming cards need 2-4 slot space, 3 or more power connections and have limits on how many hardware encode sessions you can run. the workstation cards only need 1-2 slots, one power connection, and have unlimited encode sessions. I find my A4000 to be more than enough horsepower for the bigger shows I do, usually around 100 inputs, up to 12 SDI captures, and almost always using all 6 output options.

Thank you for your feedback!

How is the fan noise of the A4000? My 4080 is hardly noticable at all, even under extensive load... need to be able to run my system even in small conference rooms with minimum noise
