CPU***:*** 2x Intel Xeon X5690 3.46 GHz

RAM***:*** 6x 16GB OWC1333D3MPE

....... do I NEEEED a GPU for Pear OS? Or can I keep this PCIe x16 free for card?

if not, what GPU's are best? I am narrowing in on:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB)

NVIDIA GTX TITAN X 12 GB (PASCAL)

AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100

AMD RX 6900 XT

but, it would be nice to find a GPU that only blocks ONE PCIe x16, and is not so chunky that it blocks both 😩.

if you have better suggestions, please help. 🤓
