The 1030 has decent video decoder but the turing decoder is better, ampere can do ac1 decode so thats gonna be future proof. But unless there is a cheapo ampere card like a 3030 or something then its gonna be tricky.
 
Temporarily reserected my 290x. Vertical green banding and would only boot in safe mode. tried my boy's 5700xt, which was fine, so it was definitely the gpu.

With nothing to lose, I tried the heat gun method and it's currently working fine. Let's hope it lasts until the insane GPU market gets back to normal. Another two year's then.
