Known Issues:

  • Occasionally, with certain workload types, the display frame update rate is slightly lower with APEX offloading versus multi-CPU VM.
  • APEX 2800 ESXi driver incompatibility.  The Virtual Machine Driver APEX 2800-2.2.0-rel-19133.exe is not compatible with APEX 2800  ESXi driver 1.1 package.  Resolution: Upgrade to an APEX 2800 ESXi driver package of 2.0 or newer when using APEX 2800 Virtual Machine Driver 2.2.0. 

Resolved Issues:

  • PCI link training errors on select Intel PCI bridge/root complex devices. Occasionally, the APEX card will fail to complete PCI-e link training with the root complex. This will result in the APEX card becoming unavailable until the server has been rebooted.
