Yeah, I don't game and I've stuck to fanless GPUs since the GPU fan was
the first thing to fail on my very first computer.

On the other hand, I have also been looking to upgrade my 10-year old
frontends to do 4k (and someday, if it's possible on Linux, HDR).  On
Windows, madVR seems to be the best video renderer, and that can
apparently make use of as much GPU power as you throw at it.  I have no
idea whether something like that will eventually be available on Linux,
but it may be something to think about.
