Thank you Victor, I had the impression the OpenGL implementation was complete for Windows OS.
I guess then the question in general, will the spice codec use opengl acceleration, if available, to reduce CPU overhead when rendering 2D only full screen refreshes?

Virgl on Windows is not a thing yet, AFAIK.

Depending on your configs, you could try Looking Glass for now.
