I have spent a lot of time researching, rebuilding and testing my system over the last few months.
Since I am now running 3x TITAN V cards, I am not sure whether the CPU performance or core count of the i7-8700k with 6C/12T @ 5.00GHz is sufficient (mainboard with Z390 chipset). 2 WUs are executed per GPU. No CPU-only applications, no other programs or background services.
What do you think? Should a CPU with more cores be used?
Best regards
Hi Marcelo,
If you are running only Einstein GPU tasks at two WU's per GPU, you should be fine providing you do have your BIOS set to use threads instead of just cores.
Einstein doesn't use more than a single thread for each task, and at 3 GPUs w/each running 2 tasks (WU) apiece you'll be using 6 threads, not 6 cores.

Agreed!
Have made some comparison

Have made some comparison about nVidia GPUs here: nVidia GPU comparison
Hope you like it, but it is for another project. Unfortunately, E@h does not have such data available to do the comparison. B)
