I've acquired a modest data center intended for cloud gaming purposes. I've been evaluating various hypervisors—Xen in several forms, ESXi, hyper-V and KVM. Since I lean toward Linux-based solutions, I'm seeking recommendations on what fits my needs. Below are the requirements I have and the challenges with each option:

- GPU-Pass-through or Strong graphics performance needed
- ESXi: No NVidia GPU pass-through; no solid V-GPU support; Linux control is limited
- Xen-Project: Overall not satisfactory, but still worth considering
- Xen-Server: Failed to integrate with xen-center; potential for improvement
- Hyper-V: Excellent performance, but requires a Windows GUI for RDP; full Windows interface visibility needed
- RemoteFX support: VRAM limits are concerning (around 320MB per VM, significantly below recommended levels)
- Desire for consistent VRAM allocation and stability

Please let me know if you have any questions, suggestions, or answers to my queries.
