vSGA is the driver that supports DirectX and OpenGL. vDGA configurations do use the native graphics card driver. SVGA or VMware SVGA 3D is the VMware Windows Display Driver Model-compliant driver included with VMware Tools on Windows virtual desktops. This 3D graphics driver can be installed on Windows for 2D/3D and can also can be utilized for both 3D and vSGA software.

VMware SVGA 3D can be configured for both 2D/3D software and vSGA deployments, and a virtual desktop can be rapidly switched between either with software or hardware acceleration, without any change to the existing configuration. vSGA supports vMotion with hardware-accelerated graphics configuration. Universal driver will work across platform without any further configuration:

The server’s physical GPUs are virtualized and shared with the number of guest virtual machines residing on the same host server with vSGA techniques. We have to integrate a specific driver in the hypervisor and all guest virtual machines will leverage the VMware vSGA 3D driver. vSGA has performance limitations with few applications which don't have needed API support and also have limited support for OpenGL and DirectX.
