VM GPU Sharing / H.264
Hello everyone, so over the weekend i looked for RDP alternatives and on the FreeRDP Site i stumbled over a program that is called "Thincast Workstation". Basically this app is based on VirtualBox but has one feature that i really like. They call it "Virtual 3D" which uses the AMD/nVIDIA GPU encoding capabilities to "stream" the video to the client - pretty much the same what Win10 with H.264AVC444 is capable of, only that you don't need one GPU per VM. Each VM uses the h264 decode capabilities of the Host GPU and i must say, it just works perfect. It even does support Direct X 12 and Vulkan in the VM. The only downside is that it is only available for Windows 10 or Windows server. Is there something similar for Linux / unRAID / KVM? 0 comments on Hacker News.
