What is the most overkill PC you have ever seen? Here is mine:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/jaydenmill...ved/FFbbLk
for "gaming" (I understand that the GPUs are
NOT
meant for gaming, but hey maybe all that VRAM will come in handy for 16K gaming in 30 years)
😉
I am also not sure if the PSU in the build is going to explode, but it was the only thing that had enough wattage to be comfortable.

I wouldn't opt for a 4x RAM setup, preferring a 2x one for better stability. Those GPUs are mostly irrelevant for gaming unless you're planning to waste resources... or you're working on rendering tasks, which would mean it's more of a workstation.

But maybe the extra VRAM could be useful for 16K gaming in 30 years. That's not how technology operates. If that were true, most businesses would collapse because they'd only need to produce and sell one item per person.

Not the most extravagant, but the strongest contender is the Google Quantum Computer. Article: https://www.sciencealert.com/google-quan...ercomputer
Your 50K build is just a small pebble compared to it.
And regardless of how powerful your list in C++ might seem, it won't earn any bragging rights because anyone could achieve that in C++.

I would, but then there is no way (according to PCpartpicker) to reach 128GB. Other than the high cost and absence of driver support, what factors make professional GPUs unsuitable for gaming?

I see, I was just noting that having 144GB of VRAM should suffice for 16K gaming. (assuming a straightforward relationship and remembering that 16GB is typically needed for 4K now, though some titles might need more or less.)

That's correct, but I was talking about conventional PCs rather than quantum systems, as quantum computers aren't capable of playing games in that way.

It's not really a major issue, just a bit more uneven and with lots of constraints.

Your $50K build goes beyond a typical desktop setup. It includes plenty of storage and three Quadro GPUs. A standard PC would have a CPU without Xeon or Threadripper, motherboard, 8 or 16GB RAM, one GTX/RTX, Radeon or Intel ARC GPU, and one to two storage drives.

Is 32GB seen as unconventional? By "conventional," I meant devices that support Windows and gaming. No quantum computers are included.
