I’ve been fighting with some issues on my unraid server recently and I’m at a point where I need a graphics card to see the actual video out as the machine boots. The psu in the chassis has no additional connectors that I could use for additional power to a graphics card.

Can someone point me in the direction of a super cheap graphics card that will be used for console only and not 3d graphics or gaming.

    While a great idea, and I would love to do so. This is a desktop motherboard in a server chassis, with no serial/usb output. It is a Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4. I ended up picking up a Nvidia GT 710.

      Oh fantastic, sorry if I missed that detail in the original post. Thought you might have had an old eBay blade server or something. Hope you got it working!

        Not yet, the new card should arrive tonight. It’s actually a SC847BE2C supermicro chassis but it’s getting close to being ready for a new motherboard/cpu/ram
