Hi,

I have new project for GPU VPS. Please take a look into my server and advise me some solutions.

My system :
E3-1240v3
32GB RAM
2x120GB SSD
GTX650 1GB GDDR5

My questions:
1. Could i mount VGA driver to my VPS???
2. I think Bluestack requires 3D GPU. So could i run Bluestack as well on this system.

New question : Can i use my VGA Card for all VPSes ???

Yes use PCI pass-through and install the driver in your Windows VM.
Fore PCI pass-through you need kernel 3.10.

Yes if the VM is a Windows machine.

OK, I just tried apt-get install pve-kernel-3.10.0-8-pve -y and it didn't work.

This is what my /etc/apt/sources.list looks like

Code: 
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib

So now I add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list

Code: 
# PVE pve-no-subscription repository 
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-no-subscription

#apt-get update

#apt-get install pve-kernel-3.10.0-8-pve -y (notice the red number is eight, not nine)

reboot the Proxmox machine

When you see the GNU GRUB screen (blue window with text), arrow down to
Advanced options for Proxmox Virtual Environment GNU/Linux - make sure it is highlighted white - then press enter.
Highlight the kernel version you want to use (3.10.0-8-pve) - then press enter
Now Proxmox will boot up with the new kernel installed.
