Could I at least use the other card to run displays? Would this take any pressure off the main card? Id really like to know if there is anything I could really do with this extra card to support my games/workflow/creative.

Hey everyone! Long time since I’ve posted. So today I’m getting a new monitor. It’s a 34” 3440x1440 untrawide (a decent upgrade from my 23” 1080p IPS display. Currently I run an i7 and an RTX 2070. I’ve been streaming and recording The Division 2 with ease however this is at 1080p. I’m thinking it will be more resource intensive to record at the new resolution (which I want to record at that resolution). To prevent bogging down the RTX or having to dumb down my graphics any, I’m wondering if I can use another GPU to do recording/whatever. I have a GTX 960/1060? (I need to look). If I put this in my system with the RTX (obv not SLI) what kind of stuff could I do with it? Or is it prob more worth my time to just sell the old card and get a second PC for recording / streaming? Thanks in advance for any light that can be shed on this!

Sweet. I'll deff look into that 2670. Should I bother water cooling at all or just a good air cooling heat sink? 32 might be overkill but wth.. why not lol Im nervous about messing with the HDDs. They all look like they connect to a card on the mobo in a PCI slot - this is my first workstation kind of computer and the bios is a bit confusing (don't want to break the new toy).

Hey Everyone! So a recently nabbed a t3600 workstation from a friend for $150. It has a xeon E-1603, 8GB of DDR3 1633(I think), 3HDD in raid to make ~930GB space, and a firepro2200 (something doodoo). I was wondering if this is a good deal. I plan on switching out the FirePro for a GTX 960 and upgrading the ram to 16GB. The machine will 90% of the time be used for Adobe Lightroom as it will be my wifes workstation pc for editing. (Maybe she could do some light gaming as well?) Let me know your thoughts and ideas. Am I going the right way with upgrading? Did I buy a turnip?
