SHOCKING: Raspberry pi 5 successfully uses external graphics card | Mind Blowing Facts

Raspberry Pi.

The release of the Raspberry Pi 5 has everyone in the maker community excited. The new board has tons of cool new spec upgrades that put it in a whole new bracket of performance. One of the biggest physical changes is the addition of a PCIe port. It didn’t take long for makers to get busy playing around with the new port and today we’ve got cool development to share from Jeff Geerling, who’s managed to get an external GPU to successfully work with the Raspberry Pi 5.

In a video shared by Geerling, he explains that the project relies on a used graphics card purchased from eBay. This is an older GPU manufactured back in 2016. With a little bit of work on behalf of himself and Coreforge, they managed to get it working successfully with a Raspberry Pi 5.
