I mean... It depends?

You are just trying to host a llama server?

Matching the VRAM doesn't necessarily matter, get the most you can afford on a single card. Splitting beyond 2 cards doesn't work well at the moment.

Getting a non Nvidia card is a problem for certain backends (like exLLaMA) but fine for llama.cpp in the near future.

AFAIK most backends are not pipelined, the load jumps sequentially from one GPU to the next.
