n
The shared hardware-accelerated graphics feature (vSGA), available with vSphere 5.1 or later, allows
you to use 3D applications for design, modeling, and multimedia. This feature requires 64MB to 512MB
of VRAM. The default is 96MB.
n
The dedicated hardware-accelerated graphics feature (vDGA), available with vSphere 5.5 or later,
dedicates a single physical GPU (graphical processing unit) on an ESXi host to a single virtual machine.
Use this feature if you require high-end, hardware-accelerated workstation graphics. This feature
requires 64MB to 512MB of VRAM. The default is 96MB.
When 3D rendering is enabled, the maximum number of monitors is 1 and the maximum resolution is 3840
x 2160.
Similarly, if you use a browser on a device that has a high pixel density resolution, such as a Macbook with
Retina Display or a Google Chromebook Pixel, you must allocate sucient VRAM for each remote desktop.
I Estimating the amount of VRAM you need for the VMware Blast display protocol is similar to
estimating how much VRAM is required for the PCoIP display protocol. For guidelines, see the section
"RAM Sizing for Specic Monitor Congurations When Using PCoIP" of the topic "Estimating Memory
Requirements for Virtual Desktops," in the View Architecture Planning document.
H.264 Decoding
If you use a Chrome browser, you can allow H.264 decoding in the HTML Access client for remote desktop
and application sessions.
When you allow H.264 decoding, the HTML Access client uses H.264 decoding if the agent supports H.264
encoding. If the agent does not support H.264 encoding, the HTML Access client uses JPEG/PNG decoding.
If you are connected to a remote desktop or application, you can allow H.264 decoding by turning on the
Allow H.264 decoding option in the Seings window, which is available from the sidebar. You must
disconnect and reconnect to the remote desktop or application for the new seing to take eect.
If you are not connected to a remote desktop or application, you can click the toolbar buon in the
upper-right corner of the desktop and application selector screen and turn on the Allow H.264 decoding
option in the Seings window. The new seing takes eect for any sessions that are connected after you
change the seing.
Using the Sidebar
After you connect to a remote desktop or hosted application, you can use the sidebar to launch other
applications and desktops, switch between running desktops and applications, and perform other actions.
When you access a remote application or desktop, the sidebar appears on the left side of the screen. Click the
sidebar tab to display or hide the sidebar. You can also slide the tab up and down.
