Finally convinced the team that my virtual box performance is limited. I am trying to simulate a heavy machine with drive, steering and a wheel model. Been offered a couple of configurations . Can someone review this and let me know if the CPU and graphics card have been verified to work. If not give us a gut feeling that this is likely to work.

Below are the 2 options

Intel Xeon Processor E5-1650 V4 (6C, 3.6 Ghz, 4.0 Ghz turbo, 2400 Mhz, 15 MB,140 W) 16 GB (4x4GB) 2400 MHz DDR4 RDIMM ECC ( 4 DIMMS)

NVIDIA Quadro M2000 4BG ( 4 DP) (1 DP to SL-DVI adapter)

Intel Xeon Processor E5-1650 V4 (6C, 3.6 Ghz, 4.0 Ghz turbo, 2400 Mhz, 15 MB,140 W) 32 GB (4x8GB) 2400 MHz DDR4 RDIMM ECC ( 4 DIMMS) NVIDIA Quadro M4000 8BG ( 4 DP) (1 DP to SL-DVI adapter) NVIDIA Qaudro K5200 8GB (2 DP, 2 DL-DVI-I)(2 DP tp SL-DVI adapter)
