>> Interesting about vDGA. I wonder why we have a worse experience, since there are really no settings per se to get vDGA to work with View. We are also using the latest View release (5.2).
>> We run four monitors on our zero client and on the 3D map display when moving around quickly we avg 15-19 FPS (PCoIP session frame rate). If we are also playing video on one of the other displays while moving around in the map app the avg frame rate drops to 13-15 FPS. If we >> do not use a zero client these frame rates drop quite significantly. The apex card gave us about a 2-3 FPS bump as well as CPU offload. I guess we are probably getting close to the limits of the PCoIP session's capabilities with this setup?
From these details I do not think you are really using vDGA. You might have a VM that has a GPU assigned to it, but not using everything connected end to end. There are some specific ( undocumented ) things that have to be done for vDGA to work properly using View with PCoIP. If not done, one of the components will not actually enable GPU based rendering to occur. The GPU might be assigned to the VM and you can see it, but the rendering is not happening there and its likely our soft3D.
The other hint here is the quad display. vDGA will only work with dual displays at the moment.
Not sure about Apex. We have never tested it. I do not know if it will work with vDGA. Cannot think of a reason it wouldn't though.
