how do you know if you are using gpu?

Hello,
i am new to virtualization.

I have a normal VSphere 7 license an S630 server and an Nvidia P4 graphics card

I saw that there were 3 graphics management modes.

VsGA
vGPU
vDGA

currently I am thinking of using vSGA mode

how can we verify it?

For sure its not vDGA because the device isnt marked for Passtrough right?

Check the Windows Device manager from your VM and look for the graphic card

1. VMware -> vSGA
2. Grid or a NVIDIDA related Device = vGPU
3. The original T4 Driver = vDGA

For sure the VM Settings will also show what is configured because vDGA/vGPU will shown an extra PCI Device.

 

GFX Acceleration is only usable with

• VMware Horzion
• Blast or PCoIP as remote protocol. It does not work with MS RDP!
• vGPU needs vSphere ESXi Enterprise Plus
• Linux, Windows 7/10/11 or Windows Terminal Server
• After GRID2 you need to buy NVIDIA SUMS

Joerg

Hello, Thank you for your reply. Indeed on the VM I have the vSGA 3D device detected. I thought this device used the feature of the graphics card. currently we have a very small infrastructure with: a vsphere7 which hosts about twenty stations in RDP. The agents connect in RDP via a wyse. We also have 1 AD server and another application. I have a few agents who need to use the adobe suite. I looked at the solutions you list me but I'm not sure which way to go. A solution that would not be too expensive because the computer park is small. VMware horizon: for this solution, if I understood correctly, you have to acquire a Vcenter license and a VMwarehorizon. Blast or PCoip: I do not know (I will inquire) vGpu: you need an ESXi Enterprise Plus license GRID2: I don't know in your opinion which solution would be the most interesting for my level? Anyway, thank you for giving me your time.
