Having had problems (sudden freezing) with the Neuveu drivers and my old Nvidia GPU (GT610), I've decided to move away from Nvidia. If they don't support the GT610 anymore (drivers are garbage) and Neuveu doesn't work, it is easier to just buy a new GPU.
Servers don't really need GPUs, although unfortunately my system won't boot without one. This is why I was using the GT610, as it uses PCI not PCIe, freeing up those PCIe lanes for something useful.
Therefore my requirements would look something like this:
- PCI, PCIe x1/x4, or USB
- Low power consumption
- As much hardware offloading as possible to help ancient Core2Quad transcode MP4/MPEG CCTV cameras into AV1
What would you guys do in this situation? :) ideally something that doesn't require non-free firmware.
