What's a good, cheap, no external power GPU to buy for VMs? Want to chuck a few in my Dell R730 server to make my desktop VMs more usable. Right now have an old K620 for a Windows VM, seems like 1030s are a good bet since I have a bunch of low profile slots I otherwise have no use for.

1030's can be both low profile and passively cooled. They are cheap but their performance is quite low. I think it's slower then modern integrated graphics. 1650's are also available without external power.

On AMD's side you can go for either a Radeon 460 or a Radeon Pro WX 5100. I think those 4 are your best options.

Edit: I think as someone else commented the RX 6400 might be the best option nowadays.

I have a RX 6400 in my r620 and it's been good

@Nilz Do you know if the WX 5100 supports SR-VIO? Getting mixed answers about what if any AMD GPUs support it, but having VMs share a single physical GPU would be a perfect solution.
