As expected anything to be detected needs a reboot.

There are some chipsets that do allow to hot-swap and hot-plug a PCI device while the system is running. Linus did a video about this. It's a hassle to configure and there is a limited number of motherboards that allow it, but it's definitely possible.

The PCI-E spec technically supports hot swap, but very few devices implement this feature.

Music is too loud

Remove the RAM while it's running

Linux : hold my GPU

Why does he use the more expensive one for this 😭 or at least I think it’s more expensive than the one that’s plugged in already 💀 idk

My pc is never running. my pc doesn't have legs

Put a 16gb RAM stick and a 1GB RAM stick, and then remove the 1GB while it’s running idle

Video Idea: While playing a game of your choice, delete the Windows file.

My cat jumped onto my chest and legit stepped on my face at full speed across my room , with his claws out and everything , all while I’m watching this video

Day 1 of asking: Remove the sound card while the pc is running pc and playing audio

Installs 2nd GPU

Use egg white as thermal paste

Love how this guy answers the types of dumb questions i would ask but don't have the money to try

My old Z77 Intel motherboard actually allows PCIE hotswapping. I wouldn't expect and GPU to connect without some work though considering how low level the drivers are, but a sound card or SSD work just fine.
