Question Kind of a dumb question - - - playing games via RDP on Windows Server 2016 ?

[LeoG7119]

I'm upgrading my Windows Server 2016 to Ryzen 5 3600. It needs a dedicated video card. I have an old ATI 4550 that is working. My son plays some games. Not heavy-duty ones and I'm wondering if I get a GTX 970 and put it in the server, can my son RDP into the server and play games using that hardware? He mostly plays Minecraft and some other similar games.
