Hi,<br>
<br>
It is possible to configure a VM with a hardware GPU (either assign the <br>
whole<br>
device to the VM or a part of it).<br>
That is helpful for running, on the guest, applications that require such<br>
strong GPU (e.g. 3D graphics).<br>
When that is the case, spice-streaming-agent can use the GPU<br>
on the guest<br>
to stream video (encode the screenbuffer and send it).<br>
This is what spice-streaming-agent does and it indeed leads to less <br>
bandwidth used.<br>
