What should I do with extra GPUs

Hey guys, currently planning to do a new PC build as my old PC died (motherboard died).

For the new PC, I intend to get 1x 4090 for c4d redshift workflow.
My older PC has 2x 2070 in it, but I have no idea how I can fit 3x GPUs into the new PC.

Does a eGPU enclosure work well with redshift? or should I just build a separate cheaper PC to use as a render node?

Thanks for any advice in advance!

Until we get non-insane-sized graphics cards again, this is probably the answer for most professionals.
You "could' squeeze in one of those 2070 cards alongside an RTX 4090 but you'll have to watch for thermals etc. to make sure you're not throttling either card.

I see, yeah looks like that's my best option. Thanks Jerry!
