It appears to be good practice to not have more than two of those cards 
in one machine. That makes it 3 servers - putting all those cards into a 
single box is most probably not the way to go.

It's rather a question of bus traffic than of CPU power, especially since 
you don't appear to be doing much transcoding. In any case you'll want to 
start small and test before going big.
