jang430 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment
Hyperlink Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment
