The significant cost savings that can be realized by leveraging a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), coupled with the rapid growth in cheaply available bandwidth (both on LAN and WAN), has meant that VDI no longer need be constrained to low-resolution desktops associated with task workers, but can be leveraged to cost effectively bring high-fidelity, high resolution, multi-monitor 3D desktops to an ever wider audience.
This whitepaper discusses the support for hardware accelerated 3D graphics that debuted with vSphere 5.1 and View 5.2 and presents performance and consolidation results for a number of different workloads, ranging from knowledge workers using 3D desktops to performance-intensive CAD-based workloads.
Further, given that the intensity of a 3D workload will vary greatly from user to user and application to application, rather than highlighting specific case studies, we demonstrate how the solution efficiently scales for both light- and heavyweight 3D workloads, until GPU or CPU resources are fully utilized. This paper also presents key best practices to extract peak performance from a 3D VMware®
