 so far i could only test this from a very slow connection in a hotel abroad and it is amazing how much faster both DCV and HP RGS are compared to normal RDP. DCV seems to perform very similar or maybe even a bit better than RGS with this extremely low bandwidth (too low really to use any sort of remote desktop with full HD, not to mention 4k).. so at the moment, except for the high priche tag, DCV is in my eyes the winner so far.  so far i could only test this from a very slow connection in a hotel abroad and it is amazing how much faster both DCV and HP RGS are compared to normal RDP.

 +===== retry DCV =====
 +dcv was running very unreliably.. it crashed often when i went to full screen with 4k and it had performance problems with resolutions in the 4k range.. i noticed however, that my method of copying the windows image and then first uninstall the HP stuff before i installed DCV was probably not the best as for example the display driver for the virtual display was not called DCV Display but something else, so i think there might have been some leftovers around which interfere with DCV.. so in order to get rid of all that i will retry the dcv installation with a new windows install. 
 +also i noticed that the performance of my virtual disk was lousy (10MB/s) so i am now using an LVM volume on a physical disk rather than an image on a zfs storage. 
  
 +here is the command line to start the vm: 
 +
 +  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -k de-ch -name windows -drive format=raw,file=/dev/vms/dcv,if=virtio,format=raw,index=0 -m 9000 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,mac=52:54:00:01:00:01 -netdev tap,id=net0 -cdrom Win10_1803_English_x64.iso -drive file=virtio-win.iso,media=cdrom,index=1 -monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:5801,server,nowait -boot once=d -cpu host,kvm=off -smp cpus=8,cores=8 -device vfio-pci,host=05:00.0 -monitor vc -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly,file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=/bulk/vm/OVMF_VARS.windows10.fd -rtc base=localtime -balloon none -serial none -parallel none -M q35 -vnc :1
