Hello all,
I have a decent Proliant Gen 10 server (lots of CPU and lots of RAM) and am looking for a suitable solution to have multiple VMs (Windows 11, Ubuntu) available on the network as remote desktops. Unfortunately, the present graphics performance under Proxmox 7.1 is pretty crappy - even with VirtIO-GPU, 512MB. The graphics card installed in the server (Matrox, MGA G200eH3) also has hardly any power to perform at all.
Therefore, I am entertaining the idea of putting one or more GPUs in the server. Since I am not in favor of NVidia's licensing policy, I thought about an AMD S7150x2 - however, the card is already quite aged and the solution is, at least in mixed operation, probably also quite unstable. It further seems, there are also no Windows 11 drivers for the card (or can I also use the Windows 10 drivers under Windows 11? Unfortunately, I have no idea about Windoze).
Does anyone have a suggestion which GPU solution I should favor? I don't need too much performance - it should be a reasonable desktop use, maybe a little CAD, no gaming. Is there a good solution in 2022? It seems like it would work with NVidia cards - but the solution also looks rather finicky with to me. The alternative, the GPU passthrough, is probably also not perfect and rock-stable - in addition, I need then for the 6-8 planned hosts probably also accordingly many graphics cards. This is expensive, costs space and the server gets even hotter... Which single-slot cards (ideally with PCIe 3.0 x8) would you recommend?
Cheers!
