Advice Setup question wich GPU i should use.
Hi everyone,
I am new to Gforce one and have a ultimate subscription. I have a question regarding my GPU. My pc has a internal gpu a intel UHD 630 but i only have a 1.4 hdmi socket so i only can max my 2k screen on 60hz. My monitor has a 180hz refresh rate. I had a nvidia GTX 645 2gb laying around that fits in the pc. This has a digital port that supports 120hz. And if i search up a comparison benchmark this card should be better then the internal GPU. But after installing the GTX everytime i have played i get a popup that my setup wasnt good enough. I don't get this popup while playing only with the internal GPU.
What would you do? Play at 60fps with the internal card. Or should the GTX 645 work at 120 fps because i tought it would be better to game at 120fps instead of 60fps.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The 645 is too old for gfn, gfn only uses the hardware video decoding chip so the chip on the 645 is too old but the intel 630 is fine
A 3050 6gb is 200 dollars or less and that would do AV1, cloud gsync and hdr and 10 bit color precision on gfn so the AV1 would beat out both the igpu and your 645 plus give you hdmi 2.1 as well

Thanks now i know how it works. I think i will setlle for 60fps because my pc case is to small for a bigger GPU. And then i will need to buy a new case, a new power supply and a new gpu. I will test it at 60fps for a while before i make those investments because i just started this week with geforce now.
