tucansam Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I am looking at upgrading my server to a Ryzen-based system. I need two PCI-e x16 slots for controllers, and that leaves every MB I'm looking at, within my price range, with only x1 slots left. I can't find x1 VGA cards around that come with full-height slot covers. Can a modern BIOS and unraid boot from a USB VGA device? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
S80_UK Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I would be very surprised if USB display adapters are generally supported by BIOS or by unRAID, since they often seem to have very specific drivers. One option that is PCIe x1 and full-height is this, but it's not cheap and perhaps it is overkill for your needs... https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards-Components/Graphics-Cards/All-series/GT710-4H-SL-2GD5/ https://www.ebuyer.com/982815-asus-geforce-gt-710-2gb-4-x-hdmi-graphics-card-gt710-4h-sl-2gd5 https://www.newegg.com/asus-geforce-gt-710-gt710-4h-sl-2gd5/p/N82E16814126433 Quote Link to comment
