Setting Options
Windows 7 3D Rendering You can select whether to enable 3D graphics rendering if
your pool comprises Windows 7 desktops that run on
vSphere 5.0 or later, PCoIP is the selected protocol, and the
Allow users to choose protocol setting is set to No.
With Windows 7 3D Rendering, users can take advantage of
graphics enhancements that are provided by applications
such as AERO, Microsoft Office 2010, and Google Earth.
If your View deployment does not run on vSphere 5.0 or
later, this setting is not available and is inactive in View
Administrator.
When you select this feature, you can configure the amount
of VRAM that is assigned to desktops in the pool. You can
select at most two monitors for your View desktops. The
maximum resolution of any one monitor is set to 1920x1200
pixels. You cannot configure this value.
NOTE You must power off and on existing virtual machines
for this setting to take effect. Restarting a virtual machine
does not cause the setting to take effect.
For more information, see “Configuring 3D Rendering on
Windows 7 Desktops,” on page 109.
Max number of monitors If you use PCoIP as the display protocol, you can select the
maximum number of monitors on which users can display
the desktop.
When the Windows 7 3D Rendering setting is not selected,
the Max number of monitors setting affects the amount of
VRAM that is assigned to desktops in the pool. When you
increase the number of monitors, more memory is consumed
on the associated ESX hosts.
When the Windows 7 3D Rendering setting is selected, you
can select at most two monitors.

the Windows 7 3D Rendering setting, you should specify the
