Hey all,

I’m running a DIY-built server on a J5040-ITX Link to the manual (PDF-Download), which features a PCIe x1 slot which I’d like to utilize with a graphics card. I found the Nvidia GT 730 2 GB which would fit, but I’m unsure, if it…

… works with nouveau, as I’m unable to find the GT 730, only the GT 730M in the list of codenames.

… if OMV (currently running OMV 7, going to upgrade to OMV 8 soonish) aka. Debian 12 (or 13, depends on OMV version) supports the proprietary driver.

Any ideas or recommendations?

    As otherwise mentioned a 16x/8x/4x card can be used in a 1x slot.

    Any 1x physical GPU will be extremely overpriced for what it is as they’re incredibly niche products.

      I don’t remember and I am not near it, but some pcie 1x slots cannot be used because they don’t have a slit cut on the right hand side. But that is not really that big of a problem because one can use a Dremel tool very carefully to cut that slit in the pcie slot plastic.

        Dremel is probably a bit overboard, a utility knife will do it. But you’re right, there can be required modification (or just using a 1x to 16x riser for ~$2 from AliExpress)
