Graphics Card Requirements For Dedicated Host

Hi all, lots of information to take in.

Quick question, if I have a dedicated r620 with 128 gigs of RAM, can I run my slave characters from that machine? It's a straight up server, like you'd see being retired from a data center. Like most servers it has on board graphics so I'm curious if I can even use that machine. I have a licensed copy of vSphere that I'd run as the l hypervisor and Windows 8.1 would be the guest OS. This is all software either licensed to me or hardware that belongs to me. Thanks!

Will my purchase be restricted?
For personal, non-commercial use, you can use our products on up to 5 PCs (or Virtual Machines) at the same physical location. See our Account Policies.

FYI: just pointing out the limit.

As for whether the game will like the onboard graphics, NFI; that would be up to you to test to find out. My guess is that while it might support directx9 or 11, the performance would be pretty rubbish with even 1 client, let alone the many that you'd probably like to run.

If you were using Hyper-V you can use RemoteFX, which would work nicely if you installed a decent card or two (or three which is about where that server maxes out); vSphere I don't know what it will support in the way of shared graphics capabilities.

Hey Bob, thanks for the reminder about the licensing. I only own two licensed copies of WoW so no need to worry about that. This was more of a PoC for me... I guess I just like to make things complicated. I think I'll do some testing and see whether or not the on board graphics will work. Thanks!
