bdillahu Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I'm sorry if I'm missing the right threads, but I'm looking to spec out a "reasonable" server build - I've got 4 disks or so that I'll use to start, and will expand that. Right now I'm running Unraid on an old HP desktop machine, but I badly need more RAM and drive bays/ports. My question is graphics... I'm not a gamer, but I run a couple of VM's as "primary" machines, in addition to various Dockers/Plugins serving stuff. None of it very taxing, except maybe the VMs at times. I don't need a lot of graphics, I just want to drive a reasonable sized monitor with output from the VM(s) passed through. Just desktop and simple graphics work... framerate doesn't matter :-) So, my understanding is I need a GPU, but I assume it doesn't have to be much. I also assume motherboard video doesn't cut it (if it exists in this day and age). Pointers? Thanks! Bruce Quote Link to comment
DZMM Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I've used a mixture of GT 710s and r5-230s and they work fine for non-gaming use. The atis are a bit easier to use in the primary slot than nvidias. Quote Link to comment
