I tested the card using the Jeremy Clarkson methodology of SPEED and POWER; it works-ish. I'll give it some time to breathe but I'm probably just gonna keep it in there. We have an OS watchdog timer for a reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Update
GPU is installed, it's now bitching about resizeable BAR. Turns out the R630 we have doesn't support that. Motherfucker.

Aight this shit's happening. Good luck to me.

Scheduled
I plan to receive an Intel Arc in the mail that will replace the GTX 1650 that is in the system right now. It should handle transcodes much better and in better quality as the Intel hardware encoders are known to be better than any other solution (short of very expensive business-to-business dedicated encoder cards).
Installing it requires me to just about tear down the entire rack due to how I'm abusing a network rack, hence the length of our downtime.
Everything will be offline during this.
