WARPSoftware Rasterization

Provides 3-D capabilities to sessions and virtual machines at high scale

Optimized for knowledge worker workloads such as Microsoft Office and web browsing

Provides the highest scale for session host and VDI

Limited to DX

RemoteFX vGPU

Provides a virtualized hardware-accelerated DirectX 11, OpenGL & OpenCL GPU in VDI, optimized for:

Best performance for 3-D graphics-intensive applications

Best experience with full animations and transitions

Best application compatibility, running as a console session in a virtual machine

RemoteFX - 2 Choices For Graphics

Everything built into WindowsManagement and deploymentAlgorithms for VM GPU placement, memory managementPerformance counters

No GPU vendor lock-inGPU agnostic, use any vendor’s GPU

Scale GPU virtualization solutionConfigurations can allow over 100 VMs

Performance supports all VDI workloadsKnowledge worker to engineering and designer workloads

The Unique Benefits of RemoteFX vGPU

Standard requirements for Hyper-VX64 processor, SLAT enabled CPU, Hardware Assisted Virtualization, Hardware Data Execution Prevention

GPU – Workstation or server class graphics cards

DirectX 11.0 or laterOpenGL 4.0 or laterWDDM 1.2 driver or laterGPU - AMD (FirePro), NVIDIA (Grid), Intel and AMD APUs

System Requirements for RemoteFX vGPU

Install RDVH role on Windows ServerInstall latest GPU driversSelect GPUs via Hyper-V UI or PowerShell

Multiple GPUs supported for scale & load balancing

Add the RemoteFX Video Adapter to a Gen 1 VMPower on the virtual machine

Very Simple to Configure & Manage
