I have two 4K screens (Samsung U28E590D) that I want to use in day to day work. Maybe some streaming, but the most intensive game I would play is Cities: Skylines Any suggestions on what is the minimum GPU that will reasonably drive them? I've backordered a GTX 1660 at $315. Would a 1650 Super be enough?
If all else fails, a Raspberry Pi 4 will drive a pair of high-end monitors, probably not with the grunt that any modern game would want, but enough to be the new X Terminal.
That just shifts the problem. He has a good computer with a not-entirely-working video card. You're suggesting something that would put him in a situation where he'd have a passable video card with a not-entirely-working computer attached to it. Don't get me wrong: I use Raspberry Pis for a lot of things. But I don't use them as my daily driver, because they don't have the horsepower. Shifting to ARM would also break most games. -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
