Graphics Card Ethernet

[Haromass]

Need to know what cable I need for a graphics card that only has a ethernet port.

Umm, what?

Only thing I can think of that remotely makes sense is a console terminal pigtail on something like a rack mounted server.

Are you talking about network interface card?

Well I matched the plug in that looks like a ethernet plugin but it didn't fit so it's a little bit smaller.

It looks like this:

Sounds about right with the network part

i believe that port is for GPU streaming like they do with games on play station now since that is a professional workstation GPU and not a consumer/gaming one

It looks like this:

You tried an ethernet cable and it was too big or too small?

If it was too big for the port... it sounds like it be for a phone cable.
If its too small... it's for some specific server/processing power house. card that doesn't really send video data out, but sends processed 3d data, like what they use to make Pixar/Dreamworks movies.

Like one you linked, is for very specific highend server usage stuff:

It's for like, sending a video signal over ethernet instead of via video cable. And multiple different ethernet displays.

" Remote up to four displays at 1920 x 1200 resolution (requires compatible Teradici Tera2 based client device, e.g. Dell Wyse P45 zero)"

"AMD FirePro™ R5000 remote graphics is AMD's second generation PCoIP based solution for remoting multi-monitor workstation computing experiences."

That's obviously not a standard RJ-45 port.
Nor is it a standard GPU.

System Requirements
"PCoIP-capable thin or zero client device required for remote connectivity; Dell Wyse P45 zero client or other Teradici Tera2 based device required for remoting four displays "


Basically, it if for running thin clients.
