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.
“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?”
