GPU recommendation for the IBM System x iDataPlex dx360 M4

Hello

Our university is going to build a HPC-cluster with some IBM System x iDataPlex dx360 M4. :-) Unfortunately instead of AMD GPU's they are probably going to order the Intel Xeon Phi 5110P when it becomes available. In the meantime we can make some tests with common GPU cards...


The dx360M4 does currently support the following GPU's:
- NVIDIA Tesla K20
- NVIDIA Tesla K20X
- NVIDIA VGX K1
- NVIDIA VGX K2
- NVIDIA Tesla K10
- NVIDIA Tesla M2090, 6 GB GDDR5
- NVIDIA Tesla M2070Q
- NVIDIA Quadro 5000, 2.5 GB GDDR5
see http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0878.html#gpu


Question:
What AMD/ATI GPU would you suggest for a IBM dx360M4- and hashcat-environment?
Please check an the attachment "IBM-dx360M4_15231A.jpg" with a md5 of 71e2e63900749e418b3562c789677c73
in order to understand the PCIe tray configuration possibility of that machine.

Thank you very much for any help/feedback!

John
