Is the PCI-devices in the client or on the server?

hi

it is on the clients

it changes in period of time , it depends on the type of projects they have.

There is no way to connect a local PCI-card to a remote desktop, basically only USB devices is possible to redirect.

I do not know of any product or technology that are even close to do what you are asking for.

1. No, not that I am aware of.

2. You do not need any hardware to do Basic 3D rendering, just enable it on the pools.

For more heavy 3D applications like AutoDesk have a look at this blogpost:
