A few questions:

1. Should low profile cards ALWAYS be chosen over normal size cards for micro-tower cases?

2. I have a GTX 1660 6GB, I was thinking of getting more efficient GPU to replace it, but the only one my OS can support at most is the RTX 30 series, and the only one I can find there that would be decent is the RTX 3050 6GB. The problem however is that it scores lower on benchmark, does 1000 points make enough of a difference? I know it shows the fps difference but that could still be different from game to game
