Machine for large scale 3D mapping

Hello, Touchdesigner people!

I am working on an outdoor 3D mapping project and I need your advice!

This will be full realtime 3D mapping, probably full produced in TD, but maybe I will do mapping in Resolume(plan B).

I will have two 4k projectors and an OSC signals from Ableton running on other MAC via TDAbleton.

Today I have tested machine with rtxa5000, intel core ultra 7 265k, 64gb RAM and it hits same performance as my laptop with rtx4080 and intel i9.

I love QUADRO cards for stability in live environment, EDID lock function etc, but I need performance as well)

Company also have PC with two QUADRO cards, could be an option. Any advices how I can utilize them to get best performance and stability?

My second plan is get two PCs, link them together and separate TD utilization.

I am not interested in video feed capturing via Decklink or other cards, because I need smalest latency I can get.

Guys, can you give me some advices or reflections about topic?

Not sure exactly where your bottleneck is but keep in mind that laptop/mini pc cards are the Max Q variants and not as powerful as the desktop ones. RTX A5000 is close to 3090 in specs so if you need more performance on a single card you could go for 4090 or 5090. You can use websites like RTX A5000 vs 3090 [4-Benchmark Showdown] to compare specs easily.
