R410 Server Video Upgrade?
We have a new R410. We'd like to upgrade the video card capabilities so as to provide hardware acceleration for our video transcode process. Has anyone had success with any sort of video upgrade on this model?

I'm also curious about this as well. From what I can see in the manual. The card would have to be a Half-Length card, which that alone limits your options and then add on the fact that the x16 PCIe slot is only rated for a power consumption of 15w (25w max) limits you to 2 videocards nVidia NVS300, 17.5w & ATI FirePro MV 2270 15w

If you want to use a videocard for processing capabilities, I'd suggest to look at a Precision Workstation R5400 or R5500. These systems are basically the same hardware as a rack server, but they are built to hold 'real' videocards. If you check the tech sheet (available from <ADMIN NOTE: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell>, you can see that that system supports up to 2 PCIe 16x videocards (combined max of 450W).
