I would like to add an external gpu to my desktop. I know most will think...why?
A little back story: My system is a Dell Poweredge 2900 with 2 quad core CPUs and a GTX 970.
The 2900s have 4 PCIE x4 slots and my 970 is cut down to fit the slot, I would like to add a GTX 10something this year or next.
I don't want to cut a second card especially if its a 1080.
Additionally I cant have it on a PCI ribbon cable because I don't have space for it to hang sideways with the DRAC card and PERC raid controller being directly below it.
As dumb as it sounds I would like to put an external gpu on top of the tower instead.
Is this feasible or is the tech not there yet?
Thank you for the advice.
