Puget Systems Test Quad NVIDIA RTX 3090 Graphics Card Workstation
Puget Systems have recently released performance and testing data from their quad NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 workstation. Puget Systems has paired the four Gigabyte RTX 3090 TURBO 24G cards with a 10 core Intel Xeon W-2255, 128 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 memory, and an EVGA SuperNOVA 1600W P2 power supply. The power draw hit 1717 W being drawn from the wall when running DaVinci Resolve, this prompted the installation of a second EVGA SuperNOVA 1600W P2 power supply.
The performance of this system is extremely impressive for enterprise applications that natively support multiple GPUs as NVIDIA has limited SLI support to two cards with the RTX 3090 ruling out running any of the few games which still support the feature. Puget Systems noted that they had very few issues getting the four blower-style cards working in a desktop workstation with temperatures staying below 80°C even under full load.
Performance
Puget Systems has provided performance data for a variety of professional applications including OctaneBench, V-Ray Next, RedShift, and DaVinci Resolve with total system performance and relative performance to a single RTX 3090.

I have been in datacenters quieter than that though.
about 80C. There's a good chance that three of those four cards are thermal throttling.83C. So actually these may all be running without throttling.So far outside my league, but maybe if stocks come back to normal I'll manage to grab one. :fingerscrossed:
i only need it for a year :p
What i took away from this is 627W MAX draw (at the wall, so ~570W actual) with a 165W CPU. 750W psu seems to be plenty for one. Maybe 850W if you're overclocking the snot out of the cpu.
