As I'm bored and in lockdown I'm looking for a little project to entertain myself. I'm waiting for 6 cameras in the post so I need to be occupied until they arrive (swapping out some old Hikvision cameras with new Dahuas).
My current setup is BI on an i5-6500/16GB ProDesk and it's funning perfectly. No reason to change that setup and I more than likely won't, I just want to experiment. I also have an i7-4790 machine running ProxMox and a few VM's like Openmediavault, Ubuntu and Home Assistant.
I'd like to put a Windows VM on the ProxMox machine and try out BI on it. To do so I need a graphics card as passing through the iGPU in ProxMox sounds like too much trouble. I figure a cheap, fanless GT710 or similar might be good enough although my monitor is a 32" 4K. If possible I'd like this card to perform hardware acceleration for BI.
Would the GT710 be good enough?
Regardless if this VM doesn't work out for BI, I might use the opportunity to decommission a second i5-6500 ProDesk I have running as my workstation PC.
