Im trying to build a workstation for my rendering and animation needs and im going for Amd 3990x Threadripper with dual rtx 3090 sli with nvlink bridge
my question is regarding the motherboard
which trx40 motherboard will support 2 3090's with nvlink bridge, due to its size, coz i haven't seen anyone talking about working amd rig with dual 3090 setup anywhere on internet

Most large boards will work you just need to make sure you buy the appropriate Nvlink bridge (4 slot). You've not seen anyone talking about it cuz it's a card that only an extremely small amount of people would buy and then you have a niche inside a niche with people who want 2 of them and then when you take into account that almost nobody besides giant youtubers isn't able to get their hands on one let alone 2 it's just extremely hard to find people who have that setup right now.

Ada is worse than Ampere which is worse than Fermi, change my mind.

Rendering typically doesn't even use SLI, just uses the 2 cards individually.
