![]() The issue really is whether the OS and/or application(s) are written to explicitly take advantage of specific features of either or both cards. DirectX 12 even allows any application that uses DX12 to be able to have both Nvidia and AMD GPUs in the same system. Even with the VM that you have created has a VMware SVGA 3D adapter (albeit virtual) and the Nvidia Tesla P4 active at the same time. I used to have a desktop that had both Intel HD4600 and Nvidia GTX 950 active at the same time. The laptop that I am typing this reply from has both Intel HD530 and Nvidia GTX 960M enabled. There are many laptops with both Intel and a discrete graphics such as AMD or Nvidia. So you have to check with Milestone as to availability/support of Nvidia GPU with the version of XProtect that you have.Īs to 2 cards with 2 different drivers, it works. Unless the version of the XProtect Smart Client you have explicitly supports and configurable to use Nvidia GPUs for H264/265 encoding/decoding, it would ignore the Tesla P4 altogether (regardless if it is inside a VM or not). The same thing with Nvidia as well requiring the application to use the Nvidia Video Codec SDK. Intel QuickSync requires an application like XProtect Smart Client to use Intel's Media SDK for H264/H265 processing. Is it for more than H264/H265 such as facial recognition? It doesn't say either exactly what the Nvidia GPUs will be used for. It doesn't say whether it is fully supported and availability. The thing I found involving Nvidia is a press release from Milestone. From what I can see XProtect H264 encoding/decoding is using Intel QuickSync (thus requires an Intel GPU not Nvidia). From all the screenshots, it looks like it is working but the only thing lacking was proof an application being able to use it and evidenced by the GPU Activity.ĭoing a search of XProtect Smart Client, I would guess it depends on the version of the software that you use. This time there was an error message (see Image 3).The suggestion to use CUDA samples or the Nvidia demo programs inside the VM was to verify that the Telsa P4 works inside the VM. With VMware Windows and Ubuntu the installation was successful, but the game did not start. With VirtualBox Ubuntu I ran into graphics glitches with Steam (see Image 2) and was unable to install any games. They should, but specifically Crysis, no. VirtualBox Windows without 3D Acceleration was unable to start any benchmarks, but it didn't have any graphics artifacts. VirtualBox Windows with 3D Acceleration enabled had serious graphics issues (see Image 1) and mediocre performance. Unfortunately the Linux version of FurMark was quite old, so the Windows results contain benchmarks with both the old and new FurMark versions.įurMark was run with 800圆00 resolution and RTHDRIBL with 640x480 resolution. The benchmarking was performed with FurMark and the good old RTHDRIBL for Windows. These are the best graphics settings available. The VirtualBox Ubuntu machine has VMSVGA Graphics Controller with 128MB of Video Memory and "Enable 3D Acceleration" set to "on". ![]() The first virtual machine has "Enable 3D Acceleration" set to "on" and the second one does not. ![]() The VirtualBox Windows machines have the VBoxSVGA Graphics Controller with 256MB of Video Memory. The VMware virtual machines have "Accelerate 3D graphics" set to "on" and 8 GB of graphics memory. The guest operating systems are Windows 10 Home version 20H2 and Ubuntu version 20.04.2. ![]() The virtual machines are configured with 4 CPU cores and 8GB of RAM. The host operating system is Windows 10 Pro version 21H1. The host computer has an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with 64GB DDR4 RAM and a GeForce RTX 2070 8GB GPU. The virtualization hypervisors are the free VMware Player version 16.1.2 and VirtualBox version 6.1.22. These solutions are much more complex to set up and are out of scope of this review. There are virtualization solutions that support full GPU passthrough (requiring a dedicated GPU for the virtual machine) such as Unraid, VMware ESXi and QEMU/KVM. The comparison results are useful to know when you want to run graphics intensive workloads virtualized on a standard Windows PC. This review compares the graphics performance of VMware Player and VirtualBox. VMware Player vs VirtualBox: Graphics Performance Review ![]()
