So you could buy 2xAMD 24GB and a good power supply to power them for a 4090.

I didn’t even think of dual cards, because I have an old & budget motherboard with one slot. But 2 x 16GB GPUs and a new motherboard (and if necessary, new CPU) and PSU and it might even still be cheaper than a 24GB NVIDIA for me. Of course I’d have to explore the trade-offs in detail because I’ve never looked into how dual cards work.
(but truth be told, I just as easily could settle for a 1x16 GB if I’m confident it would be able to train, even if slowly, AuraFlow or FLEX LoRas for the upcoming Pony v7 model. It’s just a hobby.)

Yeah. I don’t think dual cards is a great solution as I don’t think they can both be made to work on the same job at the same time, but maybe if you were generating many images it would make sense.
I don’t know, but maybe somebody else has experience.
