Hello!
The goal:
To install and test RemoteFX performance before purchase expensive server/vga.
The success so far:
- installed and configured Windows 2008 R2 SP1 with Hyper-V
- installed and configured Windows 7 Enterprice SP1 virtual machine with RemoteFX video adapter enabled
- running Windows 7 SP1 client with the supported version (7.1) RDP
- successful RDP connection and confirmed RemoteFX running (the shut down button + event with ID:2 on the VM and so on)
- no errors/warnings in the event viewer, RDP client is 10mbit or more etc.. all settings seems to be perfect.
The hardware used (I know it's not a real server, but the idea is to "feel" the RemoteFX performance before purchase and for a single VM it's quite enough):
- AMD 6800k (SLAT enabled) cpu
- nVidia GTX560 1G GDDR5 (also tested with ATI R7 240 2G)
- 8g DDR3 2400mhz memory
The problem:
The performance is.. let say the same as with the normal RDP connection. Pretty much no difference.
I checked almost every problem on the internet related to the RemoteFX, but without a single log/message I just can't do more.
The VGA is not Quadro/FirePro.. but from what I saw, the people are just using normal cards without any problems and for test purposes should be fine.
I also tried to install the cap driver (dism / ...), without any difference (actually I'm not 100% sure that this is needed, can someone explain?).
I'll be happy if someone can point me the way I can "debug" it.
Best!
