What is GPU Acceleration?
What does 'GPU Acceleration' mean?
Graphics workloads are offloaded to a physical or virtual graphics processing unit instead of being rendered by the CPU alone. In virtual desktop environments this matters for users running CAD, 3D modelling, video editing, or data visualisation, where software-only rendering produces lag and poor frame rates. GPUs can be dedicated to a single desktop or shared across several, depending on how the hypervisor divides them.
