Beginner here, go easy.
First off, I have a repurposed mining rig (6 x 1080ti, Celeron CPU, 8GB RAM, 2 x 1200W PSUs). Second, I will be getting a Dual Xeon E5-2620 (6 cores, 12 threads ea) server with 96GB RAM, which I realize is a few years old, but it's available at my budget.
Here's my question: Can split the work so the server does the work that CPU and RAM do best, and the Nvidia rig does what GPUs do best? Or would it be better to spend my time and money finding a solution to integrate it all into one machine?
