Looking for Two Dedicated Servers with Integrated Graphics
I'm looking for two dedicated servers with the following specs:
CPU: Any CPU with integrated graphics that can be enabled and is capable of decoding and encoding 8-bit H264 video
RAM: At least 16 GB
Disk: At least 500 GB SATA or NVMe SSD
Port: At least 500 Mbps
Traffic: 2 TB
Location: Anywhere
OS: Windows 10 or Windows Server 2022, depending on the CPU (can be installed myself if IPMI or KVM console is available)
The servers will be used for Parsec remote desktop.
The cheapest server I can find that suits my requirements is the KS-5-A from OVH for $30/month and a $30 setup fee, so I'm looking for providers that can offer that configuration at a lower monthly price.
Comments
I haven't seen that server in stock in a decent while, so might be worth jumping on it.
Doubt you'll be able to find anything that beats ovh at that price.
Best bet might be some OVH reseller with older iGPU models available, or Hetzner Marketplace Forum for older Hetzner models.
Hey, we have the following in stock:
Intel Core i5-9500T, 32GB RAM, 256GB NVMe, €32,50/mo
Intel Core i5-9500T, 24GB RAM, 256GB NVMe, €30,-/mo
Intel Core i5-9500T, 16GB RAM, 256GB NVMe, €27,50/mo
Intel Core i5-7500T, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, €25,-/mo
Intel Core i5-7500T, 12GB RAM, 256GB SSD, €20,-/mo
We might be able to upgrade the storage to 512GB. Send us a DM for more info
Can you provide an HDMI dummy plug/emulator as well?
Since you said you need Windows, you can easily soft emulate it with this:

I tried that on a server with an Intel iGPU, but Parsec and Moonlight fall back to software rendering. I think the iGPU requires a connected display to work properly.
Yes, no problem. Although we have had cases where it works with just the Parsec virtual display driver.
