This option relates to Host pool load-balancing algorithm and max sessions under AZ-140 objective group 1.3. It addresses a different failure risk: A session cap set too low can block capacity and incorrect balancing can concentrate interactive load on undersized hosts. But the observed requirement is: A design team needs GPU acceleration for a 3D application delivered through AVD. For the targeted topic (VM SKU sizing and graphics performance for AVD), the directly relevant risk is: Overcommitting shared RAM or choosing CPU-only hardware for GPU-intensive workloads can damage session responsiveness. That other measure may be useful in a separate environment, but does not by itself establish the specific requested outcome. An independent qualified Azure Virtual Desktop expert must adjudicate any plausible overlapping alternatives before release.
