Unraid Gpu

[ElfarrWi1]

Hey yall, I am a student at All Saints Episcopal School in Texas.  We are building a VR machine that runs 2 headsets off one pc using unraid.  We have a full loop for our 2 1080s and we have a old amd radeon card for unraid.  We are using a EVGA x299 dark edition motherboard.   Is there any way to get unraid or the motherboard to set the default gpu as the cheap amd? I know we could just move the 1080 down one and move the amd up to the first slot but we have a loop and i dont want to move it down.  Sorry but do  any of yall have a solution to this.

thanks

How much do you like tweaking in linux? You can do this with just the 1080s if you tweak some grub options.

you don't need that 3rd gpu at all. You can tell the system to do this with grub boot options. Reason why your using unraid? Id use proxmox or fedora for the much better storage features and more vm featuers.

Id just move the gpu location then. This gets to advanced linux stuff pretty quickly.

/etc/default/grub?

 

BUt really try this on fedora, or proxmox much easier and better storage and vm options
