Now if I could figure out what’s so proprietary about the PCIe slot that doesn’t allow my GPU (an HD6770 in this case) to work in it. Pinout in intel documentation shows all data pairs in the same place. The damn riser that supposedly works is like $40.
That was just me checking if that hardware would work without buying more hardware (the “proprietary” riser). And I could test it with the Matrox, and HD6770 if it would work in there.
Issue you willrun into is if you’re pass through card can’t keep up withheld tesla then you’re pass through card will choke the fps hard depending what you’re doing and how many fps you’re trying to run as far as I’m aware you’ll need a 3d card to handle the passthrough on the frame buffer as the tesla with render the game and then it gets copied onto the frame buffer on the pass through device then spat out
That shouldn’t require 3D acceleration. I don’t know enough about rendering, but an uncompressed 1600x900 or 1280x1024 (the limit of that Matrox) video stream shouldn’t be a problem, even with it’s meager 128MB (if I remember right) of VRAM. It doesn’t need to encode or decode anything, just copy, read, and display.
Try it but I ran a tesla k40 and tried using a gt710 qnd the 710 bottlenecked the k40 hard I had to pickup a better card I got a k2000 cheap and that stopped holding the k40 back
Understandable, but what make me think is that i bought two tesla, one for me and one for my friend. In my friend build with a ryzen 3 2200g is running just fine, he has doubled his fps (he was using the vega on board before with stock 1100mhz, so not far away the 732mhz of the tesla). What ha have more than me is 2 core (mine is 2 core 4 thread, the ryzen is 4/4) and another stick of ram. I tried to oc the tesla also at 950mhz but with no great impact (i notice the difference only in heaven benchmark), so my only doubt would be the single channel ram (maybe also if i use the intel card only for output its bottlenecked because of the single channel?? Idk) or just the cpu being shitty (but this cpu can also handle a 1060 3gb in games). Can i ask your opinion about? Thanks anyway for the help.
Its a firmware issue bud, they didn’t program it in the motherboard bios to support vram that big insufficient resources means it couldn’t allocated enough address space
If you dig through some obscure forums or something, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could find and type commands in a EFI shell (the BIOS’s terminal/command line) to tell it to do what you want (expand bar space/memory mapped I/O). If I understand right, micro code is basically the same for CPUs of the same generation and what most call the BIOS is just a GUI that toggles those settings for you, plus some board specific stuff like fan control etc.
And other over looked specs like cache size, memory timings… the short answer is, who knows.
What Giga said about parallel vs clock speed is a good point too. Always many factors at play.
If I’m on to something there, then booting to EFI shell on x79/server equivalent boards and using the command “pci” might be insightful for some people having problems. Better yet, the command “pci -b” to make the info more digestible. Don’t know if the command is specific to my intel server board or not.
Check specifics of your board. Could just be listed in boot menu, I’ve heard of some not having it listed but going to it when there’s no other bootable option.
