Hello,
I have been trying to get the RTX2070 to work on my server. No luck so far. Graphics card doesn't show on lspci.
I have a clean install of Proxmox on spare ssd for testing purposes. UEFI boot is enabled. Tested also with Ubuntu live.
Specs:
-Supermicro X9SRL-F (currently latest BIOS verison 3.3)
-Xeon E5-2667v2
-128GB RDIMM
-MSI Armor RTX2070 (with usb-c output).
-Seasonic focus 850W
-No other PCI-e add-on cards currently installed
What I have tried:
-Graphics card is stable on the other motherboard (with full x16 slot)
-Tested with and without HDMI monitor and HDMI dummy plug plugged in
-Tested with other PSU
-Both x16 (x8) slots are working with LSI3008 SAS card and tested also with older HD5000 series radeon.
-Upgraded BIOS from 3.2 to 3.3. This gave an option to play with pci-e bifurcation, I didn't notice other differences. Stock and other configurations tested.
-Cleared CMOS (Removed CMOS battery)
-Disabled integrated Matrox GPU by jumper and changed VGA priority to offboard on BIOS
-Above 4G decoding on/off
-MMCFG BASE default 0x8 and 0x3,0x4
-PCI-e GEN1 speed
Has anyone used RTX20xx series or newer graphics cards with this mobo? I have seen at least GTX10xx cards used on some forum posts. Is there still something to try or is the graphics card simply too new to work with this mobo?

Update/Solution
- Update motherboard BIOS to version 3.3
- Under Advanced - Chipset - NorthBridge - Integrated IO Configuration
- Set IIO 1 IOU2 - PCIe Port to x8x4x4 (default x8x8) -> slot6 (upper physical x16 slot) is bifurcated to two x4 ports
- The card is running at x4 speed. Not optimal for all usecases but at least it's working
- I don't know if this applies for all the RTX 2070 cards or only for this particular MSI Armor RTX 2070 8G card.
- RTX 3090 confirmed to work with (UEFI enabled) stock settings at least with BIOS version 3.3. No need to mess with bifurcation settings
