I've been fighting with some issues on my unraid server recently and I'm at a point where I need a graphics card to see the actual video out as the machine boots. The psu in the chassis has no additional connectors that I could use for additional power to a graphics card.

Can someone point me in the direction of a super cheap graphics card that will be used for console only and not 3d graphics or gaming.

If you don't want to deal with the used market (which might be necessary to get super cheap) the Intel Arc a310 cards have HDMI/Display Port and are slot powered so no PCIe power needed. They're also sought after for their quite good video transcoding performance so reselling it after you're done would be pretty easy.

I was very close to doing this as I could repurpose it for video transcoding but ended up going with the Nvidia GT 710.

Nice, another good option. Hope you have luck debugging your machine!
