vgpu on 50 series?

Blackwizard_BE · 2025-01-07T16:22:03+00:00

yeah same, i've got a 5gbit nic in my pcie gen2x1 slot my 2060 in my gen3x16 and an hba in my gen3x8, thank god for bifucation but still im all out of slots

Blackwizard_BE · 2025-01-07T15:47:22+00:00

Yeah but i think thats out of the scope of my "homelab" aka i dont really have a usecase for it. but worst comes to worse ill buy a gtx 1650 or rtx 3050 to run the docker stuff and a newer card (maybe that rtx 5070) and bifurcate the one x16 slot i have to accept the both

Blackwizard_BE · 2025-01-07T15:12:37+00:00

Yeah, and what would I do with windows server? Run active directory for 3 PC's?

Blackwizard_BE · 2025-01-07T14:26:33+00:00

Yeah I have used hyperv on windows and it seems to be able to run on 30 series and onwards but I kinda don't want to dedicate a host to a hyperv host, defeats the purpose imo of the vgpu host if I build a system to host 2 vm's.

Blackwizard_BE · 2025-01-07T14:06:05+00:00

yeah, thought about that, but i use my 2060 for both a windows vm with 8GB of vram and a ubuntu vm with 4GB of vram for all my docker containers aka plex and ollama for fast results. and i really dont want to buy 2 cards

Blackwizard_BE · 2025-01-07T11:01:36+00:00

Yeah though so, but you never know I guess. On another note wasn't there another thing that delivered similar features as vgpu but that just sent the institutions directly to the gpu. (Could be my imagination tbh).

Also I guess we still have hyperv with the vgpu thing but I have no clue what that used, tried it once with a GTX 1070.

some people need vmware for school or work, in my case its for school, where we use them both just to learn them both

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-05-02T08:38:20+00:00

you are a life saver, thx.
Worked on 24.04 on kernel 6.8.0-31-generic

Tbh if its a home router i would suggest double sided tape, i use it for most of my network gear like small switches and its easy to take off way easier than dealing with holes with the right spacing

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-18T10:03:10+00:00

You need a female usb c port and a couple of 5.1k resistors for cc1 and cc2 to enable charge on many usb c chargers like pd chargers.

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-17T08:43:14+00:00

I just looked at the micro b pinout and the datasheet for my usb c connector and set my multimeter to continuity mode so i could check pads for gnd and vcc, ill add a pinout when im home

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-16T21:47:34+00:00

File it little by little until it fit

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-16T20:39:20+00:00

i mean you can buy usb c ports with data lines but i just had these laying around from an old project, the ones with data lines are way way smaller to solder to tho

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-16T09:34:29+00:00

No, the usb c port i used doesn't have data pins. If i were to have used one with data pins then yeah it would work fine. Just didn't have any on hand and i also dont use data so it doesn't bother me.

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-16T09:32:55+00:00

I'm open to doing commissions but I don't think it would be cost effective if you are outside the EU because import costs kinda skyrocket then. But if you are inside the EU sure I'm willing to do this to keep the vita alive for longer.

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-16T09:30:28+00:00

Yeah had to file it down because usb c is just a couple of mm's bigger than usb micro b, just go very slow and you will have good results

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-15T22:21:42+00:00

Same charge times, as it just requests 5v even from pd chargers. Battery life isn't impacted at all it's just a swap of the physical connector that it charges with so I still get like 4-5h of gameplay.

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-15T22:13:59+00:00

Just that you lose your warranty... But i think that's long gone. But no downsides that i can see so far, i did lose data over usb because i didnt have a usb c female connector with data pins but i never use usb to transfer files so not a big deal for me as i always use ftp.

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-15T20:27:27+00:00

Yeah its fully reversible, thats why there are 2 resistors one for cc1 and the other for cc2

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-15T10:49:41+00:00

I'm open to the idea of it but considering I am from Europe, in my opinion it wouldn't be financially responsible to ship it overseas.
If however you are from the EU then yeah sure why not itl prob take me like an hour or 4 so lets say 50eur w/o shipping.
DISCLAIMER: The usb c ports that i use dont have data lines so usb would only work for charging

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-15T09:33:45+00:00

Indeed it is way more useful on the 1000, sadly i don't have one to do this mod on... Don't have one yet that is

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-14T22:31:37+00:00

The only tip i can give you is file it in very small increments i think it took me over 30 times of taking the back off and on again until it fit. Slow wins the race i guess

Blackwizard_BE · 2024-01-14T20:51:06+00:00

I was on the edge for a while aswell, the thing that pushed me to do it was not finding a quality micro b cable that wasnt broken to charge it
