Hi, I’m currently willing to build a GPU rendering workstation around 2k budget max.
I'm new to 3D and just want to explore C4D with Redshift and Octane without frustration linked to low perfs.
I've heard a lot that running multiple GPUs for that setup are highly recommended.
So there goes my first question:
Is the difference between single and dual GPU that big of a deal ?
That leaves me with 2 build options, which one would you recommend and why ?
Option 1: Single GPU - 2171€
CPU: AMD RYZEN9 3900x 3.8Ghz 12-Core Processor - 445€
No CPU cooler on this one since it comes with the CPU. Do you think I still need one ?
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus - 232€
GPU: Nvidia GeForce Rtx 2070 8G Super Blower - 620€
Took the blower format cause I'll surely plug another GC in the future
Memory: 32Go (2x16Go) Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3600MHz C18 - 171€

Option 2: Dual GPU - 2153€
CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X 3.8GHz 8-Core Processor - 160€
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 TR4 - 87€

Do you think an ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus would fit as a motherboard for those 2 configs ?
For now, I am a bit above my initial budget. It's my first build so any recommandations on alternative parts for optimization / lowering the price are more than welcome ! I’d like to get below 2k if possible.
Cheers,
