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

This is exactly the route I decided to go down. Should be arriving this evening :D Thank you

I'd love to have gone that route, but was looking for a quick solution which ended up being the Nvidia GT 710

Would be nice, but the motherboard (GA-X99-UD4) is a desktop board with no serial out.

I was very close to doing this as I could repurpose it for video transcoding but ended up going with the Nvidia GT 710.

I thought about that, as I have a few spare USB->DVI and USB->VGA adapters but I don't think they are usable during the BIOS post.

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.

 

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.
