Planning an agentic render farm.
Agents chain model calls, tools and renders all day. Here's how to size the hardware behind them.
Size the workload
Size the workload
- Count agent tasks per hour and steps per task
- Estimate tokens and render minutes per step
- Pick model sizes and quantization — this sets VRAM
- Set latency targets: interactive vs overnight batch
Design the farm
Design the farm
- Group GPUs by job type: inference, render, fine-tune
- Plan PCIe and network interconnect between nodes
- Use a job queue so agents never fight over GPUs
- Monitor temps, power and failed jobs from day one
Power and cooling
Power and cooling
- Budget 300–700 W per high-end GPU under sustained load
- Dedicated circuits and PDUs sized with 20% headroom
- Hot/cold aisle or ducted exhaust for more than 8 GPUs
- Licensed electricians handle all panel and circuit work
