After having seen how Windows 7 delivers the 3DMark06 benchmark graphics tests and found the user experience to be superior to that delivered by Windows 8, all other conditions being equal, I am very interested in identifying which component in RDP 8's RemoteFX is responsible for bringing down the monitor capture rate so heavily with respect to what Windows 7 is capable of doing.
Broadly speaking, it appears to be the Adaptive Graphics Remote FX encoder that is responsible for throttling the monitor capture rate. I would like to verify this by either isolating the encoding task on a separate GPU (I do not have a separate ASIC encoder at present) or by eliminating it wholly.
Can anyone suggest means of achieving either isolation or elimination of the RemoteFX encoder in a lab setup?
Cheers,
Etienne
