Post 141 upvotes, 333 comments, shown as '8mo ago' at access 2026-10-04. A buyer's-decision thread with an explicit rent-first recommendation (97 upvotes), a rent-vs-own cost argument (45 upvotes), and a 'you will never be satisfied' counter-example from a triple-card owner (181 upvotes). OP ultimately bought a Max-Q into a used r730xd. Also lists considered alternatives: used MI210 64GB, used RTX 8000 48GB with NVLINK. Upvote counts are a popularity proxy, not a measurement.
