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.
eBay, Craigslist, Goodwill, Facebook marketplace, or whatever your local equivalent is. Most basic graphics cards don’t need additional power.
There exist USB graphics adapters, too. But they can be janky and may not show the boot process.
