+Intel's GVTg
+============
+
+Intel GVTg allows you to share your host GPU with the guest so that it can
+accelerate graphic and media operations.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+To configure your host and the vGPU device, follow
+https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2018/04/vgpu-display-support-finally-merged-upstream/[this blog post]
+
+For spice configuration you have two main options:
+
+1. Use locally, connect and configure spice similar to  <<virgl, virGL>> spice configuration
+(set vfio display=on)
+2. Use remotley, connect and configure spice similar to <<videostreaming, spice-streaming-agent>>
+(set vfio display=off)
+
+* For remote connection you may want to accelerate your video encoding using the configured
+Intel's vGPU, check for Gstreamer's Intel accelerated codec options.
