it's probably no longer has support as the card is EOL. It's Kepler based, and from 2013. AFAIK Nvidia Grid stuff is messy to get working for consumers especially nvenc in a VM (most discussions I find are from a decade ago and state you need to use an 8GB vGPU). You would have been better off getting a P400 instead.

@izard_endokis this really a 2013 video card? 

[izard_endok 0]

yes it's 2013 video card
it's mounted on a dell R720xd
i'm not sure a nvidia P400 is supported by a dell R720
So i have tout found another one
if someone can help me to chose it, you're welcome
thanks

what do you think about a NVIDIA Tesla P40?

I guess that's moving up to 2016. Does Nvidia still update drivers for it? If you're going to be stuck on an old driver, then I would probably guess that it's not worth it and that you should just stick to CPU transcoding (or preferably no transcoding for such an old machine).

Should just be a standard PCI Express slot. You are limited in the form factor. On /r/homelab on reddit there is a person who mounted an AMD HD6850 in theirs (OLD post..ancient), newer posts with a 1070, Personally I would replace that old hardware as it uses more power than it's worth.

Apparently they limited the xd to "no graphics cards" because of airflow, but the R270 and R270xd are extremely similar and will both take graphics cards. P400 can be bought for cheap $40 USD. The P400 is limited to 8 concurrent encodes, but you can easily unlock that with the driver hacks.
