  NX, which supports OpenGL. It has issue around direct rendering, but that would only result in performance issues, not a failure to install and configure the GPU drivers.

  Maybe depending on your workload, your processing will be even faster than using integrated graphics, because they use more powerful cards.

  IF I can get this working I'll cancel some other servers and migrate their work to this i3, so it's probably more cost-efficient than EX2 CPU instances in the long run, and more convenient. Don't need any real power as I'm not doing anything particularly complex.
