David Laser Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hello guys, i need to build two servers for a very important installation.One main server and one backup.I will use a Lightware matrix as a switch from one machine to another.Only 4 full HD 1920 * 1080 output requiredVideo content is currently in MP4, 60fps format.I'm thinking of setting up a configuration with these components:Motherboard: Asus WS X299 SAGE / 10GProcessor: Intel core i9-9900XRam: 4x8GB Corsair VengeanceSSD: Crucial MX 500GB (SO)SSD M2: Samsung 970Pro + heatsinkGraphic card: RTX 5000 (Quadro)Windows LTSC 2019Does this seem like a valid configuration?Do you have experiences with similar configurations?Quadro RTX graphics cards are stable on watchout, I have seen that most use WX7100 ...I await your opinions.Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ectoplasmosis Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 I wouldn't use MP4 content or a consumer-grade M.2 SSD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I would never use any M.2 drive in a production display machine; they all eventually overheat and throttle when run near the limit of their capability, even with active cooling. The boards are just too dense, and the controllers aren't designed for continuous operation at high load. We only use industrial PCIe SSDs which run forever without throttling and have capacitor-based power loss protection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Laser Posted February 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Thanks for the clarification, I believe I will opt for a Samsung PM1725b. Any advice on the GPU?Nvidia RTX 5000 or Radeon Pro WX9100? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
