Lab Reference Machines
The reference endpoint device named NUC2 used in many test scenarios is an Intel NUC 8i7HNK with Windows 11, i7-8705G CPU (3.10GHz, 4 physical cores = 8 threads), 16GB RAM, 500GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2, and AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL GPU with 4GB VRAM. If the Task Manager Performance tab is visible in the bottom right corner of a screen video, it shows the performance data of the endpoint device.

| Simload and Link | View and Telemetry Type | Observation |
|---|---|---|
| SL1-BSPBlendingDX11 | SxS View - Standard | Lancelot with NVIDIA M5000 vs Lancelot w/o GPU: Massive lag of response time on user interaction when GPU is not present. |
| SL1-ChromeAquariumWebGL | SxS View - Standard | Lancelot with NVIDIA M5000 vs Lancelot w/o GPU: Almost similar user experience, but with high CPU load when GPU is not present. |
| SL1-MSEdgeCarVisualizer | SxS View - Standard | Lancelot with NVIDIA M5000 vs Lancelot w/o GPU: Much faster object rotation when GPU is present. Big difference in CPU load. |
