Does headless mode still use GPU acceleration?

    We are making a stress test on our unity game headless server at linux os.
    But after testing we found an odd result.
    The performance is better in PC i7-3770 (200 player per cpu core) than azure D1V2 E5-2673 (80 player per cpu core).
    We are suspect maybe Unity use GPU acceleration on PC. Can anyone confirm this?

    update.
    After running sysbench, we found some interesting fact.
    The cpu frequency of azure is slow than our PC (20% more time to compute same number of instructions)
    And the time to call gettimeofday() is insane long (20 times long than pc)
    We may tend to use other cloud vendor.
