I have now received a somewhat small data center which i intend to use as a cloud gaming server, ive been testing Hypervisor's the ones ive tried are Xen in most of its forms, ESXi, and hyper-V also KVM. I have a preference for Linux based everything so i was wondering if someone could recommend what to use below i have listed what i need from the Hypervisors and my issues with each.

 

What i need:

1. GPU-Passthrough or Good Graphics Performance

 

Issues:

ESXi: No NVidia Gpu pass through or a Good option for V-Gpu, No way to control from linux(shying away)

Xen-Project: It just wasnt great overall(still a possibility)

Xen-Server: i couldn't get it to work with xen-center(still a possibility)

Hyper-V: Great but requires a windows GUI if i use RDP i have to see the whole windows interface not just the Hyper-V Window. most importantly the RemoteFX(RFX is good and i wish all of they hypervisors had it) Has a limit of how much VRam each VM anf have and its like 320MB which is way 2 low.

 

 

If you have any questions, suggestions or the answer to my question please respond.
