Hey guys, just built a 3700x, 32gb server. The 3700x doesn't have a GPU so wondering if i really need one. My Asus 570 board boots without a graphics card so it will run headless no problem.
I have a GTX 1080 that i borrowed from my gaming computer to get it up and running. I took it out and didn't notice any difference. On my server, i use Plex but 99% of the time it is to one of my two Nvidia shields that direct play 4k content, no transcoding. Also, i have a Windows 10 VM that is running Blue Iris and recording 7 1080p cams 24/7. I didn't setup anything with the graphics card so i could be missing something but just wondering if it is worth spending a couple hundred on a card? or just buy a $50 gt710 or something just for troubleshooting bootup issues, etc.
Any input would be very much appreciated.
