Quadro rtx 5000 vs a4000

[carvecream]

Hi folks. I’m buying new graphics card tonight… was going for the quadro rtx 5000 then saw the store has 1 single a4000 available, for only another $300 US.

Should I stick with the original plan or go for the a4000?
I’m not a gamer.
I’m using cycles in rhino, vray, getting into AR/VR content production soon.

This will be going into my new custom build mini deathstar, i9-13900k, 192GB ram, so far single card only.

Thanks for any feedback!

The factor I used for reference is a GTX 1080 as 1x, but it’s also close to a 16-cored AMD chip, a…
