Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Assessment, Design and Advanced Configurations — Question 56

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment for a marketing and design company. One department uses several
3D applications based on OpenGL. These applications run as hosted applications within a single virtual machine (VM) running on a single Citrix Hypervisor host.
The host is configured with 2 physical GPUs running NVIDIA GRID technology.
Which HDX 3D Pro method should the architect use for these 3D applications?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Pass-through GPU, because it allows the virtual machine to directly access the physical GPU, providing the best performance for demanding 3D applications. The other options, such as Software-virtualized GPU and Hardware-virtualized GPU, do not provide the same level of direct access and performance necessary for running OpenGL-based applications efficiently.
