Nvidia OpenGL over Remote Desktop with Geforce GPUS

Post by jedfrechette »

I saw this linked on another forum and thought it might be useful for folks here who are currently dealing with working remotely.

As many of you know, Nvidia has traditionally prevented OpenGL rendering from working on Geforce GPUs when working over Windows Remote Desktop. This prevents many 3D applications from working.

Well they recently released a utility that enables remote OpenGL on Geforce cards. We've been using HP RGS for remote access so I haven't tested this personally but see no reason why it shouldn't work great, it's always worked fine on Quadro cards. See the download link below, note that you do need to sign up for Nvidia's developer program to download the utility.

I hope this makes somebodies life a little easier.
Game developers and content creators all over the world are working from home and asking us to help them use Windows Remote Desktop streaming with the tools they use. We've created a special tool for GeForce GPUs to accelerate Windows Remote Desktop streaming with GeForce drivers R440 or later.
