I have a Dedi server 8 core 16GB DDr2 no gpu is there anyway i can get wow to run on it without a gpu?
You can run modern games without GPU rendering. GW1&2 / Archeage & Tera are all able to run without gpu rendering
Does not work and makes no sense too. Blizz only releases client versions with GPU output. If you would manage to make it work its like an instant perma ban because only bots can play like this.
Depends more on the CPU, a hand full of the newer CPUs have decent onboard video and can run wow. However this is mainly the case with Desktop Processors (intel series 4+). I personally have been using a i7-4770k dedicated to run my 5 bots with no problems.
With this you can only run a very low amount of clients. Believe me, it does not makes sense. Servers are to deliver files or services and not run game clients. Hardware Specs look great but they are not made for WoW. So the answer is NO it does not work. Sell the server and buy a fat game machine instead. Works much better for botting ^^
VMwares not using GPUs, they using CPU to render stuff. U can take away ( as i did ) GPU cards if u using VMwares. U just need GPU to render desktop. So if ur cpu dont have any build in gpu, just use cheapest one. Soon of sooner all stuff will be included in one CPU. SSD / Mem / Gpu / etc ....
Just buy a cheap second hand desktop system from radio rentals or some cheap rental company and run them on that.
the idea of using servers for botting is as bad as virtualizing with vmware/oracle. i tried both and now i come up with dedicated laptop hardware which id much better and effective
