I'm running 2008 desktop technology and want to upgrade so that I can get more than 5 FPS out of OBS Studio when using Zoom. I have: - AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor - M4A79T Deluxe AM3 ATX DDR3 790FX 4PCI-E16 2PCI SATA2 eSATA Motherboard - 16 GB memory - AMD/ATI RV620 GL FirePro 2450 512MB DDR3 PCIe x16 Quad DVI OpenGL 3.3 - Three Dell 1600x1200 LCD DVI monitors. - Various M2 NVMe, SSD, and hard drive storage. I figure I should multiply everything by about four, so 16 cores and 64 MB memory, so maybe AMD Ryzen 9 3950X or even 5950X (if available). (I suspect having faster single-CPU response will be better than having more and more cores.) But I don't do any "gaming". I don't need to shoot things at 4K resolution. (I'm not upgrading monitors; I'm happy with three 1600x1200.) All I want is a quiet video card that occasionally runs OBS Studio into Zoom under Linux faster than about 5-10 frames per second, and nobody is writing video card reviews with that in mind. Suggestions? I could just do what Linus Torvalds did: https://www.zdnet.com/article/look-whats-inside-linus-torvalds-latest-linux-development-pc/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/you-can-build-linus-torvalds-pc-heres-all-the-hardware-and-where-to-buy-it/ He used "Some random Sapphire RX580 graphics card." As replicated by the other Linus: "Linus builds Linus’ new PC!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kua9cY8q_EI -- | Ian! D.
