Considering enabling 3D

[hurdle]

We are considering enabling 3D in a few of our Windows 7 VMs.

From what I understand is its basic 3D emulation for features like Aero.

There are a  few questions I am having problems finding answers to is

1.  Are you required to have PCOIP configured.

2.  Is the load on the host or the client where you are running the view client from?

3.  It will not work with 3D hardware cards, correct?

Thanks

1.  Are you required to have PCOIP configured.

Yes.

2.  Is the load on the host or the client where you are running the view client from?

Host.  Everything with view/PCoIP is rendered host side.

3.  It will not work with 3D hardware cards, correct?

On the host? No, not yet, though I've heard rumblings GPU virtualization is around the corner for View & vsphere.

Plese correct me if I'm wrong

There is a offload card from Teradici which is built to the host and take the graphicpower away from the cpu but I don't know price performance etc. sorry.

The Teradici card only offloads the PCoIP encoding, not the actual rendering.
