NVDA performance in remote or virtual environments
Adriani Botez
Dear all,
I thought I start a discussion here on the performance topic in remote or virtual environments. Since I don’t really have experience with this yet, but I am starting to work on such an environment, maybe some one can help with some useful hints.
For my job a smooth performance is very crucial. I wonder, which environment delivers the best NVDA performance?
In a virtual environment, is there a difference in performance when using different software to create a virtual machine? I.e. Hyper-V, VMWare, Virtual Box or Citrox itself? If yes, which is the VM software that delivers the best performance so far?
I hope someone can help with some knowledge here.
Thank you very much and best regards Adriani

For what your trying to do make sure the desk or laptop has enough power.

Your looking for CPU's with 8 or more cores and high thread if you go vertual machine. In either case make sure you have 32 gmb or better.The rest is what you like. See vm's are power hogs and remotes can have lag. That is why you build for power. Then all you have is software issues.

Thank you for the hints. Well, the laptop I am using for my work has definitely not 8 cores, it has only 4 and about 8 gb of ram. However, maybe there is some way to at least minimize the latency on the VM.

To be honest, if you only have 8gb ram, that may be your issue.

You really need another 8 to work right. Put 4gb to the ram or 3gb to your vm, and unload anything you don't need and try. I wouldn't try unless you had more ram. The cores will be fine, 2 cores to the vm should be plenty. What you may want to do if you can on the vm is to see if you can get a 32 bit version or even reformat and install a 32 bit os on the laptop then you can dedicate about 3gb to the os and 5 to the vm or have a 32 bit vm and not a 64 bit vm. You really need another 8gb at least.

Sorry I was not clear enough. The dedicated ram for the vm is 8 gb

Hi Adrian,
the performance issues may also be related to the speed of your network connection. Do you connect to the remote system via a internal network or via internet connection? If you connect via internet, whats the maximum speed for uploads? 16 GB RAM is ofcourse better then only using a VM with only 8 GB of memory, but using Windows 10 native with 4 GB RAM and aditionaly a VM with also 4 GB of RAM should also be suficient. Does your machine have a SSD or a older harddisk which is not that fast? Does the Windows in your VM react quickly and is only the remote access slow? If yes, the local hardware is not the problem. Ciao, Schoepp
