Nice to see some improvements. Next a whole new gen on top of a refresh.

Interesting.

I have for some time considered moving to a two machine setup. Keeping my expensive Threadripper (which I mostly have for its large number of PCIe lanes) for work and daily driver functions, and shifting to a cheaper (or at least cheaper to keep up to date with the latest cores) consumer board/CPU for my games.

If I do, I would of course move the 4090 to the game machine, so the question is what would I stick in the Threadripper for video output.

I wouldn't really need anything crazy rendering wise, I don't do that kind of work. I'm thinking something lightweight and quiet using little power. I'd still need support for at least three monitors though.

I've considered Nvidias A2000 (appealing because I have had good luck with Nvidia GPU's) the Radeon Pro W6600 (I would have preferred the W6400, but it only supports two screens). Maybe one of these Intel cards will do the trick too.

Or maybe I should just give up on "pro" models and just get some cheap consumer card.

My priorities are 3+ screens (one of which has to be able to be 4k) low power and practically silent at regular desktop loads (or at least with water blocks available)

The Arc Pro A40 seems like a reasonable choice for that...
