This section looks at the four virtual workstations that ran the NVIDIA nVector automated SPECviewperf 13 3ds Max workload. All the virtual workstations were connected to virtual machine endpoints.
The following table shows the configuration of the virtual workstations that we tested:

The following figure shows the CPU core utilization for the system under test. CPU core utilization remained relatively low, with the highest point reaching around 33 percent.

The following figure shows the GPU utilization for the system under test. GPU metrics were gathered using NVIDIA-SMI on the VMware ESXi host. GPU utilization was quite high for this test, but it is to be expected for the SPECviewperf 13 workload as the test is largely a measure of GPU performance.

The following figure shows the free memory in the system during the test. There were no variations in memory usage throughout the test because all vGPU-enabled VM memory was reserved. There was no memory ballooning or swapping on either host.

The following figure shows the network utilization of the system under test for the duration of the test. There was more than enough bandwidth available for the workload and the display protocol to accommodate the workload. Each server had a single 25 GbE (25,000 MBits) connected to it.
