RTX Pro 6000 tempts 5090 swap

The post weighs trading two RTX 5090 FE cards plus a Framework Desktop for a single RTX PRO 6000 to gain 96GB of VRAM for larger local models and ComfyUI rendering. It's a classic raw-throughput-versus-big-VRAM dilemma for someone already running a local inference stack.

// ANALYSIS

Two 5090s usually win on total throughput and cost efficiency for parallel jobs.

–A single 96GB card is easier to manage for large models, higher-res image pipelines, and fewer sharding headaches.
–ECC, workstation drivers, and a simpler power/cooling setup may matter more than peak speed in a server.
–The upgrade only makes sense if bigger-context or bigger-weight models are the bottleneck, not inference concurrency.
