Windows Remote Desktop and OpenGL
-
Hi,
GPU rendering has so far not worked over Windows Remote Desktop(RDP). For some configurations of applications that use Qt and OpenGL, this has meant that you have to use the Mesa software rendering library to be able to run the application (on Windows, Qt can use the file opengl32sw.dll). Covid has moved many GPU-intensive users to home offices, and the need for a better solution has increased. NVIDIA has now added support for the GPU over Windows Remote Desktop, and it works just fine.
