I would say nvidia gtx1650 as its 75watts so should make sure you stay well under that 400watt psu limit as not sure what kinda headroom you have for 160$ . RX 580 in reviews pulls around 200watts so that could be an issue. (all power numbers are from reviews on TPU). Probably are other AMD...

that is exactly what i was saying all that need to do. build cases like this as it solves the problem the OP thinks needs a change, but it uses all current hardware designs without any changes. Win-Win

its easy fix with making a case that flips board so pci is on top, cpu on bottom. all current MB/GPU a good.

So you want hot air of a cpu cooler which in this setup makes clearly of some air coolers a problem right up in to the gpu which make an already hot gpu run even hotter if you are current gpu. To turn the gpu way you are asking would mean GPU's would have to changed as well On top of computer...

Its likely gonna not run as cool as the as the cooler is smaller. evo: 227.2 x 123.24 x 49.6 mm reg: 267.01 x 133.94 x 51.13 mm

the cooler is smaller then the reg so yea generally means it won't run as cool. Its little narrower but a bit shorter card. Evo: 227.2 x 123.24 x 49.6 mm Reg dual: 267.01 x 133.94 x 51.13 mm

You are claiming slower when comparing a higher quality preset with a more performance preset? "1.2 Ultra Quality got 42 FPS, but 1.3 Ultra Quality Plus got 41 FPS" you should compare Ultra Quality 1.2 to Ultra Quality 1.3 which is 42fps vs 49fps but you went with plus. same goes for every other...

sounds like unrealistic loads + pushed to edge OC'ing as mine has never gotten near that.

2 step as in 2 pass encoding or? As for AV1 you will need a amd 7000 series, intel arc, or nvidia 4000 series card for av1 on gpu. For 265 nvidia cards have support for encoding that back to the GTX900 series cards so expect AMD also would have support least have it on cards they had out back...

Snowdrop game engine does that. Avatar is shown to use a lot of memory but still runs just fine on 8gb card even when on other cards eats 14gb+

yea i was running early on 2700mhz @ .960 volts and it was only sipping 150-160watts. right now running 2800mhz @ 1.0volts and its around 180watts sometimes up to 200 depending on game.

Thing is to do testing they did for all that is probably took them over a week as setting up doing games testing isn't a fast process as gotta do mutliple runs of each test. adding 1 gpu in addition to it doubles the testing work.

Soo what that at end said is you don't need it installed to update, doesn't say you have to remove it if it already is. You can leave it in and do the update the cpu isn't required to be installed for update to process.

i would look for reviews of the psu from sites with good rep's. I had a buddy some years ago i gave him a gtx780(like 6-7 years ago) he had a no name psu that was 750 i think. Short things is that psu could put out the watts that 780 needed and died. Moral is a no name psu saying 1000watts might...

problem is most games don't code for SLI and even nvidia stopped doing that years ago in drivers. At best you will get performance of 1 of the cards except in some older games
