June 22, 20179 yr Hi all. I'm using Supermicro X9SCM-F serverboard, and it only has PCIe x8 slots. I wanted to try gaming, moonlight streaming, hence I bought a PCIe x16 video card, Zotac GTX 1050 mini. Will it run? I know there might be minimal lost in performance, but I read somewhere that it's not really that big, given my board supports PCIe 3.0. Will it run?
June 30, 20179 yr Yes it will work - I am running the same board and have a GTX960 passed through to my windows VM for Gaming which works fine for Elite Dangerous and Fallout 4 etc. Not tried streaming games etc though. You just need to decide how you are going to make it fit - cut the back off the slot, cut the gfx card or get an adaptor.
