Hello folks, i recently got my hands on an
Supermicro Mainboard X10SDV-4C-TLN2F
as my new Freenas box. In the near future i plan to get a IBM M1015 to flash it and extend my usable sataports.
As im doing alot of expiriments with HEVC or h265 i noticed i would like to have a h265 rdy card from nvidia like the gtx1030 in there to hardware assist decoding. But the bord only has one PCIe 3.0 x16 port.
Would it be practical to use an PCIe splitter? Specially as i would rarely, probably never use the graphics card? I know the IBM M1015 only requires x8 lanes so there would be some room to maybe run the gtx 1030 in x8 lane mode ?
What are your thoughts on that?
