I would be curious if peoples have something to say about the idea of getting a new case like the Fractal Design Define 7 XL and have 2 graphic card inside...
One horizontal, as usual, which would be a Radeon 6900xt XFX.
And a second one, vertical, where the case allow that, a smaller one, msi nvidia 1060.
I am a bit worried if everything fit but I think in the worth case I could also get a Fractal Flex 2, a pci riser, to have the Radeon 6900xt XFX vertical too.
On the air flow side I think the 6900 will be fine but it's possible the 1060 will struggle a bit.
The usage I have with that is running Linux with 3 screens on the 1060 and every program who require heavy graphical computer would run through the 6900xt one way to another. Like gaming via a Windows VM where the I pass-through the 6900xt.
Even if you think it's a bad idea just say so but at least explain why you think that and maybe also how you would have done it!
thks :3

Just an update on that, it did work surprisingly well! I was worried about getting too many problems with heating for the graphic card which is vertical but actually none. I do need to work to have a working VM on windows to play game and also have games using the second graphic card but via proton its a bit of a struggle for now.
I also need to hide as much as i can the fact Windows is running in a VM... If I'm ban from a game because of that, then the game was not worth it anyway...

@brodokk I did this too! Used arch and @hack13 was wonderful and helped me do a gpu pass through for my 3080 so win 11 works like bare metal
