What’s a good, cheap, no external power GPU to buy for VMs? Want to chuck a few in my Dell R730 server to make my desktop VMs more usable. Right now have an old K620 for a Windows VM, seems like 1030s are a good bet since I have a bunch of low profile slots I otherwise have no use for.
Intel arc a380 would be a good option, especially if you’re interested in av1 encoding. I know asrock recently showed off a low profile a380, don’t know if it’s available yet tho
depending on your use case these are cheap and cheerful.

Actually I lied, according to the Dell manual the full profile slots have a connector that provides PCIe power though I’d have to buy a cable for it. Long term the answer might be to get a used V100 and dive deep into the vGPU rabbit hole (erp).
Nvidia RTX 4090 ti.
Obviously a joke. I’d love to see some good suggestions here too ☺️
