Not less than two workstation specialists have put supercharged PCs with Nvidia RTX 5090 GPUs on sale over the previous few days. Essentially the most spectacular of them all is the Bizon ZX5500 which packs as much as seven (sure, seven) water-cooled 32GB RTX 5090 GPUs in a tall tower casing. That is the very best GPU ever constructed and shopping for it by means of system builders appears to be the one technique to keep away from months-long wait.
Whereas BizonTech’s resolution will most likely function in our greatest workstation information, it isn’t as expansive as Comino’s Grando server, which has eight RTX 5090 GPUs, however the latter has but to get a launch date (I contacted Comino for extra particulars).
The ZX5500 would not come low-cost at just below $102,000 with the GPUs accounting the lion share (extra than 83%) of the whole price. That’s nearly 3x the worth of MIFCOM’s Huge Boss which has seven liquid-cooled RTX 4090 GPUs.
A beefier 6Kw energy provide unit plus and the playing cards price an additional $85,000 in comparison with the identical system with a pair of RTX 5080 (with 16GB VRAM every). As a reminder, the steered retail worth of the RTX 5090 is ‘simply’ $2000.
RTX 5090 GPUs, the place are you?
I wrote two weeks in the past concerning the Bizontech ZX5500, a 7-GPU RTX 5090 system that, not like the Grando Comino, can be paired with a dual-core EPYC CPU however had a a lot increased entry worth at $102,000. Different boutique workstation distributors have additionally managed to safe RTX 5090 models (albeit with a 4-6 weeks leadtime).
UK-based Punch Know-how is taking orders for a Threadripper Professional rendering AI workstation with two GPUs, a Threadripper Professional 7995WX, 256GB of RAM and a sticker worth of just below £24,000 (about $30,000).
For a bit extra, native rival Scan Computer systems, sells an EPYC-based workstation with eight RTX 5090 for nearly two thirds what Comino expenses for its system. I reached out to them on X.com (previously Twitter) to seek out out whether or not that is a real worth, a placeholder or a clumsy mistake.
(ed: Seems it’s a one-year subscription to Scan’s Cloud Workstation service, much more disappointing then)
Puget techniques, whose President blamed very restricted provide of RTX 5090 for lengthy lead instances, is simply promoting single-GPU configurations for now, though I did discover that you can get a system (the T140-XL) with two 16GB Nvidia RTX 5080 GPUs for a bit less than $13,000, able to ship in less than two weeks.
Different workstation specialists which can be promoting RTX 5090 rigs embrace:
Common workstation outfit Titan Computer systems, and none of the three large PC producers (Dell, Lenovo and HP) have but to launch RTX 5090 workstations.
Watch On
In his overview of the RTX 5090, TechRadar’s John Loeffler calls it the supercar of graphics playing cards, and asks whether or not it was just too highly effective, suggesting that it’s an absolute glutton for wattage.
“It is overkill”, he quips, “particularly if you solely need it for gaming, since displays that can really deal with the frames this GPU can put out are seemingly years away.”
