Hello I am in an undergrad research program and in my professors lab we're testing different GPU virtualization setups.
I need a cheap ESXi server build that I can do some concept tests on before I get a chance to do the real thing on a HPC later. I'll be running ESXi 5.1 on it and my professor is able to provide me with the full licensing.
My ESXi Server requirements:
-GPU that supports ESXI's vSGA and vDGA (preferably both)
-Motherboard that supports PCI-passthrough (Intel's VT-d or AMD IOMMU)
After some quick researching I found that the NVIDIA Quadro line supports vSGA and vDGA):
Quadro 2000 (only supports vDGA)
Quadro 4000 (supports both)
Quadro 5000 (supports both)
Quadro 6000 (supports both)
Is it possible for some GeForce cards to support vSGA and/or vDGA? Want to try and cut down costs.
As for the motherboard I'm not sure where to start other than it will probably be Intel and it needs to support VT-d.
Any help is appreciated.
