RemoteFX provides a rich user experience for virtual desktops and remote desktop sessions. It allows full fidelity rendering of graphics and media on both low-cost and advanced client devices. RemoteFX uses hardware-accelerated graphics processing and advanced codecs to deliver a local-like experience remotely. It is compatible with VDI, session-based desktops, and supports host- or client-side rendering depending on configuration and network conditions. RemoteFX improves user productivity by enabling access to any screen content from any device anywhere.

23. RemoteFX for RD Virtualization Host hardware requirementsSLAT-enabled processor - The processor in the RemoteFX server must support Second-Level Address Translation (SLAT). GPU - At least one graphics processing unit (GPU) is required on the RemoteFX server. The GPU driver must support DirectX 9.0c and DirectX 10.0. If more than one GPU is installed in the RemoteFX server, the GPUs must be identical. RemoteFX encoder - The RemoteFX encoder is optional and can be installed for additional scalability on the Microsoft® RemoteFX™ server. Hyper-V - The Hyper-V hardware requirements must be supported on the server.

24. RemoteFX for RD Session Host hardware requirementsSSE2-enabled processor - the processor on the RD Session Host server must support Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2). RemoteFX encoder - The RemoteFX encoder is optional server hardware, and it can be installed for additional scalability on the RemoteFX server. The hardware encoder card must be installed in a PCI Express x4 slot or greater.
