Ask GN 23: RX 490 Talk, GPU Power %, Driver Performance

This episode of Ask GN (#23!) talks about GPU power % target as opposed to overclocking instead, driver-based performance improvements, dual GPU cards, and more. Timestamps:

00:25 Lucretius: "Is there any point to changing the core clock of a modern GPU for overclocking as opposed to just increasing the power target or temp limit ? Since with GPU boost the card will overclock as far as it can anyway ????"

02:54 Matt Sibilleau: "Not sure if you will know much about this, but here's a question. With doing a more budget system for CAD type software (PTC Creo specifically) would buying the cheaper Geforce card be fine compared to getting a Quadro? The projects right now are small mechanical parts.?"

05:55 Miguel Felix: "So i'm curious how much improvement can yo expect from each release of drivers from Nvidia or AMD?
would it be noticeable in terms of FPS??"

07:26 xellestar: "About these AIO gpus - I've experienced issues with an AIO cpu cooler which need topped up after only 6 months due to air bubbles getting caught in the pump and causing noise. What is the situation if this needs to be done on one of these AIO gpus that dont have a fill port or anything ??"

10:01 RemusKingOfRome5: "Serious question, i'm hearing the 490 might be 2 x 480s in one card , is that possible ? if so, it doesn't really fix the crossfire issue of old games not using multiple gpus, so what's the point ? yes it might kick the az of a 1080 but would only do so on some modern games.?"
