Best GPU for a multi user RDP server that runs CostX?

[Lukeminister]

Hey guys, the plan is to create a server and allow around 12 simultaneous users to use a VPN and RDP to connect to the server when they are off site. I understand a graphics card will be needed. I have been looking into the T400 4GB and the Quadro P1000 4GB. These fit the budget of $300~ and shorter than 20cm.

This is alot different to what im used to, which is building gaming PC's and opting for the best performance for a single user. I havent dealt with multi user servers with GPU's yet.
should also note the plan is to create the physical server, then run a Virtual server off that for users to connect to.

Any advice is welcome and appreciated.
Thanks!

do you need hardware accel?

RTX 2000 ADA would be my first choice. Otherwise, I would think the bare minimum is something like the Nvidia Quadro T1000 8GB. Each session is going to use 200-400MB of memory. AND you will need more compute that the T400 or P1000 can provide.

You may want to look at some of the lower end A series gpu. I recently priced out an HP Z2 full height machine and my only options were A series.

There is also the vgpu unlock that would work on something like a 2080

Did you end up doing this? I tested this with an A2000E and if I recall, dwm.exe would crash after a while on Server 2022.
