Installing a CPU with an integrated GPU into my R200
I want to upgrade my R220 with a CPU that has an integrated GPU for quick sync. Once the new CPU is installed would the iGPU just show up in device manager?

Okay but I was clearly asking about the integrated GPU that some of the E3-1200 line CPUs have.

Hi,
the quick sync feature is supported only in the E3-12x5 family processor, and this family processor is not supported on this server, sorry.
Thanks

Thank you for answering my question Marco however you are slightly off, the e3-12x6 CPUs have quick sync support as well. It's strange that the R220 wouldn't support specific sub-families of e3-1200 CPUs. In any case I've got an nvidia P400 working for gpu-based video decoding so a CPU with quick sync is not essential.

I've got an update to this. Early January I ordered a E3-1276V3 which is supported by the R220 and has an integrated gpu that supports Quick Sync. It arrived yesterday and installed it today. Unfortunately the cpu's iGPU doesn't show up in device manager. Oh well. At least I have four cores eight threads at 3.6Ghz instead of 4C4T at 3.1Ghz.
