Would you mind clarifying the problem you are facing?

I am able to RDP freely onto desktops with rtx 2070/gtx 960 cards no problem.

Is this more something specific involving some degraded performance/reduction in features?




I have trouble with RDP and a 1060, though I've not tried in many months so it might be something that has since been fixed.

The issue seemed to be switching between remote and local access, i.e using the machine locally, then from remote, then coming back to local. It would usually survive a couple of cycles of this then just be a black screen after login. Once in that state tricks to reboot the graphics driver did not work and reporting in speed working too, though the rest of the machine was up as services like IIS and file shares kept responding just fine.

My hacky solution is to run VM for most day-to-day work on that machine and remote to that, only using the bare metal when I need the fancy gfx card or otherwise the little bit of extra unpf gained by not having a virtualization layer in the mix.


Yeah I work at a games studio, we are fully remote at the moment due to covid, and disconnecting/reconnecting RDP usually crashes whatever is running on the machine at the time, due to "GPU removed" error. Also only DirectX applications work through RDP, nothing OpenGL/Vulkan based. We have some Citrix licences for that.
