So noob
Our environment will be Windows Server 2016 Standard. Remote Desktop users will be 4-5 some day more. The software the users will be using is ArcGIS, AutoCAD Civil 3d, Orbit 3D point cloud editing software. Office products and the like.
I have set up a sandbox with the following hardware:
Board: Supermicro 5039ADT
Processor: Intel Cor i7-7700K
RAM: 64GB
Storage: Samsung 960 PRO NVMe M.2 512GB SSD
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1080
Network: 10GB Ethernet adapter
This environment worked out fairly well during testing. Max load was 4 users, 2 using the Orbit software to extract data from large 3D point clouds and 1 user using AutoCAD Civil 3D and 1 user just monitoring Perfmon and GPU-Z1(graphics card monitor)
I noticed the device started to cap out on processor utilization when all 3 users were hard at it. The GTX 1080 was utilized to about 50-75% off and on. No real consistency with the graphics utilization.
My question is this... I am going to build a server for this purpose and will be upgrading to a duel socket board with Xeon processors. Should I put more resources toward the processing or should I put them toward's graphics?
I could go with 2 X titan video cards or I could put that money toward better processors NOTE* I need to keep under 16 cores per windows server licensing. Currently I am thinking of running 1 x titan and 2 X Intel Xeon E5-1660V4
Would love your feedback!
thanks!
