Why Split Four GPUs Across Two Workstations?
We recently built two workstations for the same client, both part of a single order. Each system packs an AMD Threadripper PRO 7975WX and a pair of RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPUs. That is four elite GPUs in total. Looking at the build sheet, the obvious question pops up: why split four cards across two…

Cinemetaverz is a virtual production studio in Hyderabad, running live in-camera VFX on a chroma floor. The pipeline is built on Unreal Engine, environments are lit and previsualised before the camera rolls, and the director sees the finished frame while the actor is still standing on it.

Choosing between Threadripper and EPYC when building a high-performance workstation or server is not as simple as picking the “faster” processor. Today, we are diving into when you should opt for Threadripper, where its limits lie and when EPYC starts making sense without overspeccing.

How the Wrong Motherboard Leaves Lakhs of Hardware Sitting Idle: PCIe Lane Budgets Explained
If you’re currently shopping for a workstation with multiple GPUs, you’re likely trying to linearly scale your workflow by loading bigger models or cutting render times. However, we frequently see custom multi-GPU builds fall far short of expectations. We see that three GPUs are pegged at 100%, while the fourth sits idle, waiting. The culprit…

What Can 384GB of VRAM actually do?
There is no other machine like this in India, Period. It has four RTX 6000 Pro Blackwells and a Threadripper enclosed in a full custom liquid loop – all inside a single chassis. And if you tried to build something similar yourself, you’re looking at somewhere between 60 to 70 lakhs. This is a follow-up…

The Truth About Workstation Warranties in India
Imagine it’s 9:00 AM on a Tuesday morning and you sit down and fire up the workstation, and… nothing. The machine is down. But you aren’t worried as you paid for the “Next Business Day On-Site” support tier so you raise a ticket then fast forward a couple days and you’re wondering how many more…

Building an Inference Powerhouse Workstation – ft. Four Liquid Cooled Blackwell Pro 6000 96GB
Somewhere on the PCB of an RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell is a small HDMI connector. If it snaps while you’re fitting a waterblock, the replacement part does not exist. That’s a ₹10 lakh mistake with no undo button. We had to not-snap it four times. Every once in a while a requirement comes in that…

Does a second GPU actually save you time in DaVinci Resolve?
Have you ever found yourself nodding at a client, saying “just one more hour,” knowing full well your machine is choking on a 4K timeline? Or maybe you’re three hours deep into a grading session, and the moment you add temporal noise reduction, your playback drops to 3 frames per second. That hiccup is money…
