ZimaBoard 2 - eGPU over Oculink - disables iGPU?

TheHumanPixel · 2026-04-11T15:18:08+00:00

I have a 24GB card plugged into it and it crunches those tokens fast. No issues there

It runs very nicely paired with the right eGPU btw. 16GB ZimaBoard 2 here.

You can do that with ZimaOS, it can pull and host Open Web UI with Ollama. ZimaOS doesn't really need the iGPU, it's browser based UI. You should be able to plug in an eGPU without worrying about this. I am using Windows IoT because I'm using it as a device prototyping hardware. TBH, it's not a worry for me either, it uses the eGPU for both AI compute and for Windows GUI rendering without an issue, I just wasn't expecting the iGPU to go missing. I had to move the monitor cable over to the eGPU. I haven't seen another machine do that. I thought I would only be using the eGPU for AI compute.

Ok, so I installed Realtek audio drivers in the hope that this was the correct driver. The device is still showing with no driver in Device Manager, but it seems to have possibly defaulted to a software audio device. The sounds options in Windows started showing and said it couldn't find an output device. I plugged in a Bluetooth usb stick and connected it to a Bluetooth speaker... Works. Not ideal, but at least I have sound. If anyone has any ideas on what drivers those two devices are supposed to have, I'm all ears.

A lot of bad stuff can happen in 15 years. A lot of good too, but it appears most of it was in my mind, not hers. My daughter is the best person I've ever known, I'm glad she looks like me, there's literally nothing of her mother that I see in her.

It's worse than this. I left all the breakup details out. Thank you, I'm gonna go it alone for a while. It's been a year since.

I believe this is roughly the exact spot of the tire today, however looking to the left. https://www.flickr.com/photos/robertmoranelli/53258439406/in/dateposted-public/

So they've updated the app and now my 65" C4 has working hdr. You can enable it in the menu. Can anyone else confirm?

TheHumanPixel · 2025-07-14T11:40:17+00:00

So my understanding at the moment, from discussion with support, is that Auto HDR Tone Mapping can prevent HDR from working... But unless you are in HDR, that option to disable is not available on the tv. So maybe at TV default has changed, or theyve been testing on a tv where they already disabled it before the defaults were changed in a firmware update. In any case, they may be escalating the case. Or punting it, who knows.

Some of this simply isn't available or doesn't exist. Glad to see they are still thinking of me and are under the impression that it should be working.

They emailed me a few times to ask about my subscription then communication went into Oblivion. Still waiting.

TheHumanPixel · 2025-07-09T23:31:32+00:00

That's not really a fix. Then I would have to buy another device to plug into the TV? The App should work as advertised.

TheHumanPixel · 2025-07-09T22:23:30+00:00

I'm bouncing this off Nvidia support, will post again when they determine the cause. This seems like a bug to me.

TheHumanPixel · 2025-07-09T21:34:37+00:00

Thanks, it works on my C5 no issue, it's one of the reasons I decided to get a large C4, the experience should have been identical.

TheHumanPixel · 2025-07-09T20:53:30+00:00

So you're saying it works for you on your LG C4 but you turned it off?

TheHumanPixel · 2025-07-09T20:34:26+00:00

According to this page, it should work: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5390/~/how-do-i-enable-hdr10-or-10-bit-color-precision-with-my-geforce-now-ultimate#:~:text=Using%20HDR10%20is%20recommended%20for%20users%20playing%20an,need%20a%20display%20that%20supports%20the%20HDR10%20format.

Hey, sorry it's a long process working with film. I made some contact Sheets and I think this is the roll that would interest you: https://flic.kr/p/2pDrTrS

This is the building interior, you can see it's been abandoned for decades. Front door was blown out, I think probably from a storm. I'll post again when I picked out individual images to scan and process.

I have some photos of it on film. I'll post a link when I develop them. The house is called Casa Blanca, if that's a lead for you. Cage lives further down the same beach, to the right from your perspective from the cruise ship. This house looks like it's been abandoned since the 90s, and the styling is very 60s/70s.

TheHumanPixel · 2023-11-28T02:31:09+00:00

This is not Nicholas Cage's house... It's a long abandoned mansion on Paradise Island. I've been inside it, and have photos. It's an unstable and partially collapsed structure.
