Add hardware acceleration guide #370

Open FlysoftBeta opened 4 months ago

FlysoftBeta commented 4 months ago

Although it is generally impossible to use vGPU on NVIDIA customer GPUs, we can leverage Intel's GVT-g to meet daily usage as it provides a practical virtual GPU. It would be nice to add hardware acceleration guide for Intel iGPUs.

As far as I recall, Intel GVT-g supports only Intel Broadwell (5th generation) to Comet Lake (10th generation) processors. I tried to implement this on my system but was ultimately unsuccessful. Although I managed to create the vGPU and pass it to the Windows VM, I encountered a significant issue with what seemed to be a frame buffer width mismatch. I have a preliminary guide I wrote for setting up this feature, which I'm happy to share if you're interested. Perhaps you could identify the problem and suggest a solution. If we can get this feature working, I'd be glad to include it in the updated WinApps project documentation at https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps. Thanks!
