GUI does not equal GPU passthru.

In virtualization, VM's GUI is often accessed remotely (e.g.
rdesktop/vnc). In that case, you don't need GPU passthru. Actually,
you don't even need a GPU at all (IIRC some old sun x86 server don't
even have a GPU).

Usually you'll need GPU pasthru ONLY if you xen on your
desktop/notebook, and directly use the monitor/keyboard/mouse to do
something 3d-related (e.g play game) on the domU directly. For most
other cases, remote console will be enough.

Not sure about desktop. For servers, for example HP as ILO, DELL has
DRAC, etc. There's also KVM over IP.
