    The folks over at ASRock RACK have created a graphics card that fits in an M.2 socket - it’s a lot smaller than an Nvidia RTX 3080 - but can it run games?
    Check out that ASRock Rack M2_VGA Module at lmg.gg/5wcQF

    Honestly, I think this thing would be pretty useful for headless servers if you just need a barebones display output for a command line in case SSH breaks.
    I have a homelab setup myself and my server machine has 1050 Ti in it for Jellyfin transcoding, but if I didn’t need hardware accelerated transcoding, I could easily see using something like this for a basic CLI output just-in-case.

Really good for diagnosing problems or to have a headless machine that would otherwise complain about no GPU being present or something, but not much else really.
    I'm guessing this is meant to be the spiritual successor to the ATI Rage embedded 8MB GPUs found on server mobos of old, or the even weirder XGI Volari Z7 16MB embedded GPUs found on slightly newer server boards (about the 1st to 4th core i series generations or thereabouts, or rather their Xeon equivalents)

    The funny thing is I literally knew somebody who would hit their laptop and the screen would come back on I tried to fix it narrowed it down to an inverter issue. They were happy with just hitting it and having it work again it went on this way for at least 5 months before we went our separate ways.

      @maxhoneyman9084 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The question is... if your server's integrated gpu died and you were trying to troubleshoot the issue... would you even be able to access the ipmi with this device? Or, what about a case where the server was purchased second hand and can't be accessed without a video output because it has not been configured yet? While this would save an otherwise dead server in theory, I wonder if it would actually work for that case. I imagine this is why windows sees the device with so many varied configuration options that are not accurately represented in menus. @@rysterstech

    Kinda wish you looked into more retro games for this like the classic Doom games, The Sims 2 and the original Deus Ex. Honestly I can imagine it running 90's and early 00's games decently well enough - especially with how rare and expensive retro hardware can be nowadays, it seems like a good if funky alternative to get a very cheap retro gaming PC up and running.
