Does the GT 610/ GT 520 support 3440x1440

[Aggravated Salmon]

Yes, i know it's not officially supported, but so is the case for my Quadro 2000. I thought my maximum resolution would be 2560 x 1600 on my quadro, but i was pleasantly surprised to see it work both natively and in a remote desktop application at 3440x1440.

I want to know whether either of these two cards support that resolution because I want to free up the PCI-E slot my Quadro takes and get a legacy PCI version of the GT 610 or GT 520.

It's a headless system anyways so as long as it works in remote desktop, I'll be satisfied.

 

BONUS: if u can find any legacy PCI card better than the GT 610

RDP resolution depends on the connecting computer's resolution, not the host. You could hypothetically run it at 3440x1440 without a GPU through RDP. I've connected to VM's without GPUs at that resolution before.

 

However, if you were using it "headed", it would probably work over HDMI, but limited to 30Hz (that's what my laptop is limited to over HDMI 1.4).

doesn't a gpu still need to be present in the host machine to encode the RDP frames before its decoded on the client? the host is running windows 10 pro btw.

I'll see your GT 610 and raise you the integrated graphics on any Intel Core CPU since 2015, then you don't even need PCI.

 

The best is probably some form of Quadro. The best you're likely to see if something like a 520/610/HD 5450. I had a PCI GT 210 until fairly recently, and all I'll say is buyer beware. If it can even push that resolution without crashing at all, it's going to be miserable. I'm talking 3 FPS on your desktop.

I believe RDP frames can be rendered on the CPU (without a GPU). You won't have any hardware acceleration, but generally that should be disabled when using RDP anyways. Like I said, I've RDP'd into headless VMs without a GPU configured; it's slow going (partially because it was an i3 server...) but it worked.

thanks for your experience, ill keep that in mind. but my pc does not have integrated graphics, regardless of whether its on the motheboard or the cpu. the cpu in question is the e5-2699 v3.

did that i3 have integrated graphics? because my cpu & mobo does not have integrated graphics.

Not in the VM (I didn't have it passed through, and frankly I don't think FreeNAS will let you).

I don't know what slots you have available, but I thought I would mention that there are versions of the GT 710 that go into PCIe x1 slots, and only take up a single slot at the rear.

 

For instance:  PCIe x1 GT 710  (You can get 2Gb ones, and I have seen other similar ones that have 4 HDMI connectors)

GT 710 with 4 HDMI

 

 

Of course that won't help if you only have the older PCI slots available.
