Should I use Intel CPU with HD Graphics or more powerful AMD CPU without graphics ?

What specific CPU model do you have installed? AFAICT, the P630 is in Kaby Lake based Xeon workstation CPUs and they should have Intel Quick Sync.

Based on the "server name" in your screenshot, I am assuming this is not a device you physically own but are renting. If this is the case, they are likely not making the GPU available to your VM.
