What video cards can work on a terminal server (acceleration of all sessions)?

Question

3D

I'm interested in the question - what technologies should a video card have, as well as the server / software / OS itself, so that video acceleration works in all (100) sessions? Of course proportionally dividing the performance. This is not about overloads, but about at least the smooth operation of the browser, with support for video acceleration, incl. video stream playback. It would not be superfluous and the ability to simultaneously run applications with support for 2D / 3D.
In general, I'm interested in how the usual configuration of a "regular PC" is suitable and what exactly does not fit in it:
intel i7-8999 (taken from the ceiling) built-in video or an additional GF1080 (or newer), 256GB of RAM, SSD 1800Mb / s.
Why did I ask the question - I know that there are also professional video cards, but I don’t understand exactly why they are more productive?

Answer 1

RDP has long been capable of GPU timesharing via RemoteFX vGPU

Answer 2

None. Or you can say - any one will do, which is basically the same thing, just the other way around :)
Because RDP does not use the computing resources of the card. RDP is a remote control protocol . management, you know? Admin access for some work. Neither 2D, nor 3D, nor any other D does it provide - because there is no need - admins do not watch movies on RDP. In order to provide users with remote wheelbarrows with 2D / 3D - put a hyper like VmWare, a vidyuhu that can share computing cores (the same professional Quardo type), distribute resources, put Windows on virtual machines.

Answer 3

1. desktop video cards, like Quadro, will not work. Suitable, for example, is this
2. In the specification, we see that it can give resources to a maximum of 64 users. Those. You need two for every 100 people. This is either a server with two slots for video cards, or two servers with one slot.
3. Technologies that allow more or less fully transfer video acceleration to remote slaves. tables at two vendors - Vmware and Citrix.
4. It is never easy and definitely never cheap to implement, if anything.

Answer 4

Any card with nvidia grid support will definitely fit, verified. List
On Avito from 15t.r. can be found.
The rest is unknown, who experienced, report also interesting.

Answer 5

Nvidia grid k1 and k2 will also work. Here they are now the most affordable, especially on ebay. I use screw machines standing on esxi. I connect via rdp, but the question is like the author's. You need to switch the browser to a discrete card (uses CPU resources by default). Wandered therefore on this subject. Went looking further.
