Just saw the E3-1275 v5 supposedly has a Intel® HD Graphics P530
interesting... does anyone know an easy command to run on debian to check if an iGPU is detected?

lspci | grep -i vga

Thanks!

Does this mean my server has an iGPU? The CPU is a i5-3570, no idea why there is something with Xeon.

It’s no longer the old i440FX + PIIX, 1996, which is a big improvement.

It's from intel-gpu-tools package. When you do graphics-intensive tasks like encoding, it shows whether the iGPU is actually used.

One more thing to consider is that it's virmach, you have to pray that node will not lock and that he will not be MIA anytime soon. Like earlier this year.

If you're fine with that virmach is ok'ed for hobbyist. At least virmach has better uptime that dedipath and nexusbytes

I think they're... pretty good but only for testing? You could burst to 100% for a few minutes and still not violate avg 30% CPU hourly policy. Better than PaaS services as you own root permission, is always available, persistent.

They've been around for almost a decade and are creative with the plans. Never knew I would play gacha with cloud servers.

It's likely Vi***ch is this ultra low end because that's their business model and they're quite successful with that.

I agreed that virmach is in business long enough that they won't deadpool soon. But virmach gacha is something...

If you're lucky enough you'll be in stable node with decent uptime.

Never tried virmach before but I just purchased the 1/1/20 Ryzen NVMe for $7.68. Wish it had IPv6 but the two IPv4 addresses is def cool!

Look for when they have AMS. AMS has ipv6.

Ok thanks, I'll keep an eye out for when they have one there.

They have one now for 8.08/y ams.

Thank you! I just picked it up for $7.94

You can do other things like

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i 'intel'

(I made that up, you can do 'amd' if you have AMD)

Install lshw then run:

lshw -C display

Install mesa-utils then run:

glxinfo | grep -i device

It used to have two IPv4 AMS, but only one core. The price fluctuated between 7 to 8 dollars! However, after applying available coupons on LES, it even appeared that for just a little over 4 dollars per year, you could get the usage rights for two IPv4 addresses. But Virm*** fixed the algorithm, and it may no longer appear.Addition: I went back and checked, it was actually one IPv4. My memory! Damn!

I thought so, but it could be anything, it might be miscommunication between them or because my payment is reversed at first.

Given that diffirent operator reply on my ticket each time(same ticket), i believed there is a lot ppl working here.
