    What is TurboVNC?

    TurboVNC is a derivative of VNC (Virtual Network Computing) that is tuned to provide peak performance for 3D and video workloads. TurboVNC was originally a fork of TightVNC 1.3.x, and on the surface, the X server and Windows viewer still behave similarly to their parents. However, the current version of TurboVNC contains a much more modern X server code base (based on X.org 7.7) and a variety of other features and fixes not present in TightVNC, including a high-performance Java viewer. In addition, TurboVNC compresses 3D and video workloads significantly better than the “tightest” compression mode in TightVNC 1.3.x while using only typically 15-20% of the CPU time of the latter. Using non-default settings, TurboVNC can also match the best compression ratios produced by TightVNC 1.3.x for 2D workloads. Furthermore, TurboVNC contains some unique features that are designed specifically for visualization applications.

    The brief Wikipedia subentry gives the false impression that this was a project developed in the past that is no longer active or worth mentioning, but that could not be further from the truth. This is an actively developed project with a feature set, hardware-accelerated performance, greater configurability, and efficient bandwidth consumption far superior to TigerVNC and the closed-development, rarely updated TightVNC. Overall, it is a vastly superior project with high compatibility with other VNC clients and servers. After switching over to TurboVNC from TightVNC and TigerVNC, I was able to enjoy both higher quality settings and auto-resizing (ie. if I resized my client window, the server desktop resized to match) with lower bandwidth consumption and latency compared to the other VNC servers. Likewise, I tested the TurboVNC client with the other servers and found it to work seamlessly.
