Virtual server with video card
From October 21, 2016, UltraVDS enabled the ability to add video cards to rental servers. This functionality was made possible with the release of Windows Server 2016, which includes an updated Hyper-V virtualization environment.
The new Microsoft hypervisor in the face of RemoteFX makes it possible to control the allocated resources of video cards much more widely than it was available in server versions of Windows 2008 and 2012.
Microsoft RemoteFX is a trademark and technology designed to improve the quality of visual perception of the RDP protocol (remote desktop).

A brief history excursion:
RemoteFX first appeared with the release of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and included the following features:
- RemoteFX vGPU - GPU virtualization and distribution on multiple machines running Windows 7. This allowed virtual servers to use hardware acceleration to handle complex graphics scripts (3D rendering and, of course, games);
- RemoteFX USB - redirection of USB devices to virtual machines running on the server;
- RemoteFX Codec is a simple codec that uses the processor power of a virtual machine to encode video and text playback.
With the release of Windows Server 2012 , the following components have been added to RemoteFX:
- RemoteFX vGPU updated to support DirectX 11;
- RemoteFX Adaptive Graphics - image transfer from a remote machine has learned to adapt to different conditions of work: the type of graphic content, processor performance and network bandwidth;
- RemoteFX Multi-Touch - added support for remote interaction via touchscreens that support multi-touch with up to 256 touch points.
In Windows Server 2016, the updated RemoteFX Media Streaming fully replaced all Multi Media Redirection for all types of video content, and also appeared:
- OpenGL 4.4 and OpenCL 1.1 API support;
- Advanced management of allocated video memory for each of the virtual machines running on the server.
