    That’s not much of an issue these days, you can offload rendering pretty much wherever in Linux. Level1Techs has a whole section on their forums on SR-IOV and working with offloaded compute in homelabs for awhile now.

      Probably not someone that a consumer would want to do unless they’re interested in the challenge.

      I forgot about the absence of PCIe connectors until jj4211 mentioned it in another comment. That would also be problematic for consumer use. I know it’s possible to do the conversion as I’ve looked into it in the past, but it doesn’t come cheap.
