VMware vSGA, powered by the Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series, delivers a scalable, high-performance shared 3D graphics solution on VMware ESXi. VMware has evaluated its performance using applications like Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, WebGL, web video, and CAD viewers. The results showed that vSGA provides a superior user experience compared to a CPU-only 3D graphics stack and achieves performance levels comparable to SR-IOV on the Intel Data Center GPU Flex 140.
