RemoteFX Graphics Card

[caseyd64]

I'm having the hardest time picking out a video card for my new Hyper-V Server. I want it to run RemoteFX so I need a kicking video card. I only have 7" x 3.5" of clearance. ;-/

Any ideas? I'm looking to spend anywhere from $500-$900

What type of case are you using? 1U, 2U, 4U, tower case, etc?

Sorry, its the Dell R510. Which is a 2U. I found out I can swap out a heat sink and get up to 12" long, however the width needs to be less than 4".. more like 3 3/8"s.. which would fit just perfectly.

I guess if I could find an 8x graphics card I would buy another inch of space, because I wouldn't need the riser adapter.

You will have to go with something like one of these:

Make sure you get one that includes a low-profile bracket. For your purposes, an x1 GPU should be fine. Good luck!
