    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Need space to fit a 3090 after!

    Cool, thanks - really valuable info! Wouldn't game and render at once. But if the 3090 is driving the monitor whilst it's trying to render, everything crawls to a halt, and you can't really edit the scene as you go. So I plug the monitor into the second card and then you can scroll around...
