Thus the conundrum. I don’t need a new card for gaming but I want to build a new Plex server and my current card would be perfect for transcoding. If I knew supply and prices were going to get back to normal soon it wouldn’t be a question but I might take the plunge because my patience is waning.

I also looked at 6900xt cards but they don’t make the grade. Some don’t even have HDMI 2.1.
