Ok, this is where I'm at today:
Reverted my floating linked clones to use 'no' 3D; turned off the use of the Nvidia Grid card on my pools.
I have extremely limited use of the Grid card, but my initial observations are:
1. The card makes a major difference in small Solidworks assemblies.
2. Large assemblies, it starts to '@#$#'; out...............wireframe does not work as expected and some buttons fail according to the engineer using Solidworks
3. Solidworks Tech Support does not support any type of virtualization; you are on your own.
I'm heading down this path:
1. No Grid card. I am not getting consistent predictable behavior.
2. I will focus on using SSD (or PCI SSD...fusion io) drives for the for the floating linked clones.
