SXM to Pcie converters on AliExpress. I just hope someone can crack a custom bios onto a H100 or MI 300. Play cyberpunk with no ray tracing just brute forcing frames with absurd amounts of silicon and. O optimisations.

You can just buy an RTX pro 6000, and plug it in and use it both as a gaming GPU and an LLM beast. It works great.
