For a demo environment I have configured a server with nVidia Quadro 4000 card, configured as vDGA (PCI passthrough) in VM. The graphical performance isn't as good as I expected, for example, the Windows 8 metro interface isn't as smooth as locally. What are the best practices, tuning tips for best (3D) user experience with vDGA? are there any PCoIP GPO settings I should or shouldn't set? Which NVidia driver should I use in the VM? Any other Windows tweaks?
I configured the following hardware and software:
DL380 Gen8
64GB RAM
2x Nvidia Quadro 4000 cards (1 for Xendesktop 7 VM and 1 for VMware View 5.2 VM)
Fusion-IO card
ESX 5.1 U1
VMware View 5.2
VM:
HW version 9
4 vCPU
8GB RAM
PCI passthrough Quadro 4000
Windows 8 x64
Nvidia drivers 320.86
I have now set the PCoIP GPO Max frame rate at 120 and enabled "disable build to lossless". It didn't help much unfortunately.
