Supermicro Epyc motherboards - list of graphics cards that work - I need help to make a list

H12SSL Radeon RX 7600 - does not work (mostly)

POST freezes if the PCIe mode for the GPU slot is set to = EFI
If it is set = Disable then it will post and boot into O/S, but... I couldn't get Ubuntu or Debian desktops to work with the card, even though it appeared to be on the PCI bus. In both cases it just used the built-in VGA, but that stopped working in both installs after the few reboots, leading to a blank GUI and journalctl errors thrown by "Mutter".

I *did* get a very rudimentary Nixos install to use the card with Wayland and sway manual install, but it was very low on features.

On my H12 I put in the settings on the following link and its works fine time. I also used the jumper to disable onboard video.

I need to resurrect this: recently read that disabling iKVM could help with that. You lose remote access via IPMI, but if that helps with getting pretty much all graphics cards to run, it would be a small price to pay for workstation applications. What are your thoughts on this?

Only windows has problems with two GPUs: (bmc GPU and pcie GPU)

ikvm helped me more than once with an "unresponsive" os & getting into bios/uefi, I don't want to miss this feature for my workstations & servers.

This is windows 11 on a m12swa, previously I had a h12ssl with a 1080ti add in card (evga) and it worked without any problems...
ikvm works and show the desktop + open windows

Edit:forget the last part. it seems that windows + bmc gpu can be problematic:

The issue I found was the boot process would seemingly hand, and never get to the operating system.
This is operating system agnostic.
There may be other OS specific issues, but if the mb won't get past POST, other problems really don't matter.

I see my question was worded poorly. I was more interested if anyone knows if disabling iKVM could help with the GPU compatibility issue at all.

So I am using the Supermicro H11SSL-i , Version 2.00 Version 2.1. I used a quadro p2000 in my other setup. Will them not work with this motherboard. What would you recommend and I also purchased a startech kvm that I would like to use as well. Also I am using unraid as my OS.

I wanted to add an Nvidia P2000 to H11ssl but no matter what i try it doesn't seem to show up on the bio. I can connect a screen to it and see the post but it wont come up anywhere else on the system.
So maybe we should add this P2000 to the list of non working cards .
I bought the Supermicro board hoping to do gpu passthrough.
Now i have to try to get rid of it.

You will not see the P2000 listed in the bios specifically. I’m not aware that you’d see any GPU in the BIOS.

but if you want to get full display through it you’ll have to change the default VGA output from Internal to External. (Or Offboard vs Onboard, I forget the exact verbiage the SM boards is)

Or if you’re talking about passthrough to a VM, you might need to adjust some IOMMU settings.

Mine works fine on Ubuntu Linux 23.04. Post, UEFI/bios and desktop.

I have an H12SSL and have the following GPUs all working perfectly fine.

Nvidia GTX 1660
Nvidia a4000
Intel Arc Pro a40 (x2)

H12SSL-I - WX9100 (MI25 with WX9100 bios) and MI25 work (system boots fine) however the BMC isn't detecting any temps from the WX9100. As a result the fans kick up full tilt on the system. FYI have not tested video output on the WX9100 flash as the fan noise is unsustainable in my environment. I flashed the WX9100 bios back to MI25 (220W version found here: AMD Radeon Instinct MI2 VBIOS) and my BMC is happy.

The MI25 has a mini DP port on it but by default there's no video output with the non-WX9100 bios so I won't be able to test that. Not sure if my post is all that relevant to this thread now that I type this. Guess it depends on your definition of "working". lol
