Hi, Guys,
I am upgrading my HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Desktop Mini (7"x7"x1-1/2") for gaming. Obviously I will be using an external GPU. Since I am limited by the socket to 1151, the strongest possible CPU is a Core I9-9900k. I have acquired one for the upgrade.
I want to play at 1440p ultrawide. I have two GPU's available to me.
The easiest card to install is a PNY RTX 3060 12GB XLR8 single fan edition..
The other GPU available to me is an Aorus RTX 3080 Waterforce. This would obviously be much more powerful, but add the bulk and complexity of a custom loop. I have all the parts on hand for a custom loop...including the CPU heatsink. If I do not use the 3080 now, I will surely use it in another computer in the reasonably near future.
But for now:
I am totally unexperienced in PC gaming. Can one of you wise and experienced folks PLEASE tell me what games are not playable with the 3060 (I assume the 3080 will play nearly anything I can throw at it!)?
TIA, and warm regards,
Larry
