I Have two Dell R-720's.
Dual Xeon 2.2 GhZ (8 Cores Each)

I want to install Nvidia 2080 Super, however is impossible to find. I came across a GPU made by Lenovo.

GPGPU is supported on R720 server. RTX2070 model is not supported on R720. It is not supported does not mean it will not work at all. As this is not validated, I can not guarantee that it will work on R720. I seen many people are able to make non supported cards work on the server. Any other community member can give some insights if they tried this specific model on R720. Below are some similar cards supported on R720
To connect GPGPU on power edge server you need to have specific configuration and GPU enablement kit. You can refer below link on these details
