Raspberry Pi enthusiasts interested in learning more about using the new Raspberry Pi Compute module with external graphics cards may be interested in a new video created by Raspberry Pi aficionado Jeff Geerling, who explains a little more about his experimentation below. A couple of graphics cards used in the project include the Zotac Nvidia GeForce GT 710 and VisionTek AMD Radeon 5450. If you are interested in learning more about how you can add a graphics card and increase the power of your Pi mini PC, check out the currently supported Raspberry Pi GPU hardware.
“After I learned the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 IO Board comes with a PCIe slot, I know the first thing I thought about testing was a graphics card. The Mali GPU inside the Pi 4 is decent on its own, but what if you could use external video cards, for mining, for rendering, or for CUDA or other GPU-accelerated computing purposes?”
