Does Microsoft MultiPoint Server 2011 support hardware 3D acceleration and dual-head?

I know the original purpose is different, but could MultiPoint be used for gaming as well?

update this seems to be rather neglected, but what about audio? Does MultiPoint Server support more then one sound channel e.g. via onBoard sound + HDMI?

Solution 1:

From what I can tell (I haven't actuall yused it personally yet) it uses Hyper-V VMs and RDP + RemoteFX, so you'll be limited to the capabilites/requirments of RemoteFX.

Apparently RemoteFX will handle upto 4 monitors @1280 x 1024 in a 'VM setting', if your dedecated GPU has >275MB. Less monitors/more video RAM as you increase resolution.

Hope that helps.
