    Can you use the NVidia grid k2 GPU on a virtual machine without VMware horizon. can you use it on RDP or remote desktop connection?

    im maybe assuming if you can you have to change a setting somewhere or a config value or something?

    RDP is a Microsoft thing, there is a way to use PCoIP on a single Win7 host outside of Horizon / view.  It is tricky and if you have the license or have a VMware contract I am sure someone can help you do it.  To connect you have to know the name/IP and it works for us in IT but not for end user computing.  I am not sure about the blast protocol.

    BTW if you have a HP Z series workstation they come free with HPRGS software that does the same thing...

    so you can use a NVidia grid k1 or k2 with remote desktop? if I contact VMware at the time would they be able to set it up /fix it?

    can you use the grid cards to game on like with steam if you had horizon view say does it work like that.
