Troubleshooting

Question

A systems administrator is troubleshooting performance issues with a Windows VDI environment. Users have reported that VDI performance has been slow since the images were upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. This VDI environment is used to run simple tasks, such as Microsoft Office. The administrator investigates the virtual machines and finds the following settings:

  • 4 vCPU
  • 16GB RAM
  • 10Gb networking
  • 256MB frame buffer

Which of the following MOST likely needs to be upgraded?

Options

  • AvRAM
  • BvCPU
  • CvGPU
  • DvNIC

Explanation

The latest operating system from Microsoft Windows 10 is the most graphically intensive operating system and is designed to deliver improved user experience across PC and mobile devices. Desktop virtualization allows IT to more easily manage and deploy these new upgrades however new considerations must be weighed when selecting the right vGPU profile for your Windows 10 deployment. According to NVDIA, the minimum frame buffer for a Windows 10 instance is 512MB. In reality, while 512MB will work for some Windows 10 workloads, there are several factors that will increase frame buffer usage above the 512MB threshold and require a 1GB profile to support. Hence, vGPU MOST likely need to be upgraded.
