This build is a dual RTX Pro 6000 setup in a 4U rack-mount case. The two GPUs share 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes, which is fine as long as you don’t try to run a single model across both cards (i.e., a large model won’t fit on one GPU). Data-parallel workloads are not affected.

The GPUs are the Max-Q version with a 300W TDP, which allows them to fit on an ATX motherboard in this 4U chassis. The downside is a 10–20% performance reduction compared with full workstation cards.

This configuration represents a balanced, budget-friendly setup. Any upgrades — such as adding more GPUs or switching to full workstation cards — would quickly increase costs, making the system significantly more expensive than this optimized baseline.
