It's worth considering a budget ARC GPU as a secondary card just for the onboard AVI encoding/decoding as even the lowest spec cards have it.
it's locked behind the 40xx series paywall on nVidia cards... no idea about AMD as yet.
So if you are any kind of content creator, streamer and any related fields that require excellent hardware encoding/decoding abilities... It makes far better sense to go ARC and keep an existing card than it does to fork out for anything from nVidia anymore.
