High-End Remote Desktop for Windows with NICE DCV QUIC/UDP Support and NVIDIA GRID Performance Drivers on G5 graphics-intensive instances (3D Post-Processing, Media & Entertainment, Gaming). Optimized NICE DCV configurations are covered by the charges.
Overview
NICE DCV is a high performance remote streaming protocol that enables user to securely access remote desktop or application sessions, including 3D graphics applications hosted on servers with high-performance GPUs.
The QUIC UDP-based transport protocol enables users to run high frame rate, highly dynamic workloads, such as gaming, media workloads experiencing fluid and responsive streaming quality, especially under sub-optimal network conditions.
NVIDIA GRID drivers are pre-installed for best performance and optimally smooth user experience on high-end A10G GPUs.
NICE DCV offers end users a wide range of client devices, including native clients for Windows, Linux, and MacOS operating systems. Native clients support up to 4 monitors at 4K resolution each and the Windows client also supports USB redirection for 3D mice and USB storage devices. In addition, NICE DCV helps customers with remote Linux desktops to reduce session costs by supporting multiple Linux sessions from a single high performance server.
On AWS, NICE DCV provides the streaming protocol e.g. used by Amazon Nimble Studio, Amazon Appstream 2.0 and AWS RoboMaker.
Highlights
- Remote Performance: Responsive and secure streaming experience allowing customers to run graphics intensive applications remotely removing the need for expensive dedicated workstations or transferring large amounts of data. Based on NICE DCV from AWS.
- Secure TLS encrypted high-end 3D remote desktop connection on powerful NVIDIA based cloud GPUs. Includes remote USB support and file transfer.
- Windows Server 2019 desktop with full Administrator access to add and manage own applications. Leverages high NVIDIA A10G cloud GPUs.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 G5 instance size you run. The eight dimensions map to G5 instance types, from g5.xlarge up to g5.48xlarge. Each step up adds more CPU, memory, and GPU capacity for graphics-intensive Windows desktop work. Pricing scales with instance size, so you select the size that fits your workload and pay only for the hours you use. There is no upfront commitment. This gives you a remote 3D Windows desktop using NICE DCV with NVIDIA GRID drivers on the chosen instance.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each dimension bills per running instance-hour of the matching EC2 G5 size. One unit is one hour the instance runs. Larger sizes add CPU, memory, and NVIDIA GPU capacity for graphics-intensive Windows desktop streaming. You are charged for the instance you launch, metered by actual runtime.
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs, since billing is per instance-hour. A stopped instance stops the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached volume may still apply while the instance is stopped, but the DCV software meters running time only.
Cost scales with the instance size you choose, not with your user count. Moving to a larger G5 size raises the hourly rate because you get more CPU, memory, and GPU. The change is manual — you launch the size you need. You pay only for the hours that size runs.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes

Usage instructions
- Make sure the instance security groups allow inbound traffic to TCP and UDP port 8443.
- Start the NICE DCV client (Optionally click "Connection Settings" -> Click "Protocol" -> Select Automatic or QUIC in the pulldown menu -> Click "OK")
- Connect to your remote machine by the entering your <public_dns> or external IP address in the address field. Authenticate using username Administrator and password you can find in the EC2 console when clicking the "Connect" option of the instance.
You can also switch to the standard TCP based DCV protocol in step 3) above to compare performance of both protocols and to leverage the best protocol for your use case. In case you are upgrading from a previous AMI version please note that a new DCV client is available as well.
You can also use the DCV web client to connect to DCV at https://public_dns:8443.
