No, the server graphics card has no impact whatsoever. The graphics card isn't used when running a game server, the two main things that will affect the server is the CPU and Memory. All the server is doing is receiving, processing, and sending data, it isn't outputting any graphics. The only time your graphics card is used is on a local machine, specifically when something is being displayed on the monitor.

If you have two computers with the same CPU, Memory, Motherboard... everything, the only difference being one is using a 512 MB gfx card, and the other doesn't have one, they will run the exact same
