As far as I know GPUs are not necessary for a dedicated server. Servers function without them and they are not used to process graphics. My experience with hosting is all older fps games. 1 machine I used had a basic Nvidia card in it, and currently, I am using a cheap small form factor refurbished dell to host servers with no problem.
It depends on what kind of server - and what games you want to host. You can host old fps games like quake 3 on literally ANY functioning windows PC. Servers are basically DOS boxes. Newer games might be another story.
