Admittedly the following is buried deep inside Post 1, but:@dehjomz @CaseySJ New monitors solved the issue. Thanks for the troubleshooting help and being there to run ideas past! I'm now rocking two 28" instead of the old 24"s. They are 4k vs. HD, and they emit no heat... Honestly its a win-win... Other then on the pocketbook...
Now I need to figure out where and how to mount this 5700 XT.. Doesn't look like its gonna fit inside the box well. Prob have to go eGPU... Anyone want to caution me about anything with eGPU?
This is the box Apple pushes.

If anyone else has experience Im all ears.
Thanks everyone!
Regarding eGPUs, the only way to use them reliably is by flashing the Thunderbolt firmware. The 6900 XT is a monster; the 5700 XT has no compelling reason to coexist on the same machine! I would not recommend an eGPU. Instead, in today’s hot GPU market, why not sell the 5700 XT instead? You can recover the money you spent on one or both of the new 28” monitors…
