So the LSI controller is what makes the X9DR7 worth more money? The X9DR3 has a c606 chipset with it's own sas controller with 8 sas ports, is it really that much worse than the LSI controller?
I am trying to decide between these two motherboards, both from supermicro, one is a MBD-X9DR7-LN4F-O and the other is MBD-X9DR3-LN4F+-O

I am trying decide whether to buy a gtx 770 or r9 280x in hopes of them working with remotefx in hyper-v and hoping to game with them in VMs while utilizing directx.
I have heard of a couple success stories of consumer grade graphics card working fine in 2012 or 2008 server hyper-v with...

Shame, I really can't afford to drop 1500-2k on a graphics card for this project right now. Is there anything I can do with hyper-v and windows server either 2008 or 2012 that can do what I'm hoping to achieve? Share graphics card across multiple guests? Or xen?
I'm going to be using a x9da7 supermicro mobo and 2 e5-2665s, but I was hoping there was some way I could have 20-30 guests utilizing graphics card, is it not possible at all? What type of graphic support do these guest get if any if they don't get their individual graphics card supporting...
Which would be a better performance an amd r9 280 or a Nvidia Quadro 4000? Not the K4000 since that's about 100 dollars more expensive, but the r9 280 and the Nvidia Quadro 4000 are about the same price, anyone know which one I should get? And can I not just use a r9 290? I read through the...
