What GTC virtual sessions are persons catching for desktop virtualization?

Does anyone know how the Nvidia vm extension works in azure? I see it will inject drivers into the OS at time of provisioning but does it keep them updated? If not maybe I can locate drivers for these NC series Tesla backed VMs.

I refer to the change on memory management for Lovelace GPUs as spoke about earlier in the thread. Making a new thread to shed som light on this topic. It seems like this change is basicly making 2GB profiles kind of disturbed. Users are constantly reaching up to 2GB of usage, running 1-2 monitors on 1440p. This is bad news as a lot of users actually would need 3GB just to ensure stable performance. If you are using vPC license you could end up with being forced to a vWS profile. Anyone got any tricks up their sleeve to reduce GPU mem usage on guestVM? I'm thinking of tweaking policies or guestOS but not really sure if this would make any change. Does vPC or vWS license make any difference(45FPS cap on vPC)?

Does anyone encounteer issue when setting up 3D workload (https://community.citrix.com/tech-zone/design/design-decisions/hdx-graphics) and get sometime green screen at login (see pic attach) ? Not happen all the time but offen. We use VDA 2308, Setting up Hardware Acceleration for graphics and H265 Decoding for graphics with proper registry key on endpoint. We have the CWA 2311.1 on the endpoint. The VDI are running on Vmware on premise with graphic card NVIDIA GRID vGPU nvidia_a10-8q

Anyone exp. with settings up Nvidia AI Enterprise on vsphere? a bit confused on choosing between vGPU and MIG or both?? Reading docs it seems like you can assign normal timesliced vGPUs to your VMs and split them up into partitions with MIG from guest OS. Is this wrong?

Hi on DaaS Is it only posibel to get GPU Utilization with Nvidia Tesla M60 and not my T4? I cannot find it in monitoring, and says: NVIDIA Tesla M60 GPUs running Display Driver version 369.17 or later. https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-daas/monitor/troubleshoot-deployments/machines.html#gpu-utilization I am running ESXi 7.0.3 Nvidia T4 with T4-2b profile vGPU Software 17.1 Windows Driver 551.78 Windows 11 Enterprice Build 22621 VDA 2311.0.0.247

Does anyone here have hands-on experience with VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA? The supported GPUs are: • NVIDIA A100 • NVIDIA L40S • NVIDIA H100 However, has anyone tested it with other GPUs, such as the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada? Would it work the same way?

vSphere 8U3 supports mixing vGPU profile sizes and types! 😄

Hi all, I'm currently playing around with some vGPU setting in vCenter. For a test I have enabled SR-IOV for my GPU in vCenter, but now I can't disable it. Does anybody know how to do that?

Has anyone managed to get a GeForce and Tesla GPU working on the same machine? What configuration changes did you make? When I install the GeForce drivers, I am not able to use the Tesla GPU, and when I install the Tesla drivers, I am not able to use the GeForce GPU.

Today, I finished a simple guide that anyone can follow and set up.

Setting Up and Configuring On-Prem Nvidia License Server for Nvidia AI Enterprise and Virtual GPU

I have an ESX host with two Nvidia L40 GPU. We have configured a 2Q profile but Nvidia-smi shows only 1824 MIB per VM. Also Windows Task Manager is showing 1,8 GB Also, both GPU are shown as 44,9 GB instead of 48 GB. I'm just wondering if this is by design or maybe a bug?

Hello, I am tasked with scheduling and preparing an upgrade task for ESXi, Citrix, and NVIDIA. However, I am unfamiliar with the NVIDIA component. I have 20 ESXi hosts, each with two NVIDIA A16 GPUs. Additionally, I have a Citrix farm with 200-300 VDI VMs (Windows 10) running on MCS (non-persistent VMs). Currently I'm running on NVIDIA version 15.4, I'm targeting the version 16.7. Could you please advise me on the best practices for upgrading the NVIDIA component (host/guest OS driver)? Is it possible to upgrade the NVIDIA guest OS driver on the master Citrix catalog machine, push the update to the Citrix catalog, and then upgrade the ESXi hosts one by one over a period of one week? Alternatively, would it be necessary to perform this operation in a single session over the weekend? Thanks 🙂

Hello, I'm having a Pro/Contra Discussion with a customer about the installation routine. Usually I'm installing the NVIDIA driver BEFORE the VDA. What is your installation routine? 🙂 thanks

NVIDIA vGPU 17.4 Dropped! Adds support for Horizon 2406, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 2407, security updates, and bug fixes! https://docs.nvidia.com/vgpu/17.0/whats-new-vgpu/index.html

Is somebody running a four socket machine (4 physical CPUs installed) with two nvidia L40 cards successfully? Customer having issues with the setup. Poor graphics performance…

Does anybody have experience with using Intel Flex 140/170 GPUs for VDI (mostly interested in Horizon)? Thinking they might be a viable budget-friendly (no licensing costs!) NVIDIA alternative...

A good one to understand / keep in mind, especially with the larger NVIDIA GPUs like L40S is sizing and the impact of GPU channels, especially when using smaller vGPU profiles on those bigger GPUs: https://docs.nvidia.com/vgpu/sizing/virtual-pc/latest/best-practices.html#understanding-gpu-channels

Anyone got expirience with optimizing vGPUs for Premiere Pro? GPU memory usage is insanly high and VMs are having issues when limits are reached.. Doesn't seem like it really good at using swap with memory.

A colleague mentioned that it’s also necessary to update the GPUs’ firmware, which makes sense if you think about it. When I update the host firmware on HP servers, I typically use the SPP. However, I haven’t been able to find any clear guidance on how to update GPU firmware. Does anyone know the recommended process or have any documentation for that? A quick Google search hasn’t turned up anything conclusive.

NVIDIA vGPU 18 dropped yesterday! Docs here: NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software v18.0 - NVIDIA Docs

Hey Members, I am working on a VDI Project for 750users with Win11 with all Adobe CAD and Graphics based application. On Xenserver, How GPU is allotted for the VMs. Need to do some Sizing. Can anyone assist me here with documents or suggestions

We are working on an initiative to get NVidia Grid fully supported on our hypervisor, but are running into roadblocks trying to get NVidia's attention. We have registered for contact in their partner portal and have reached out to many on LinkedIn, with no results. • Does anyone have a suggestion on who to connect with to get the ball rolling? • Is Grid required when simply using pass-through instead of true vGPU? • We are having difficulties finding the drivers without the Grid enablement to use them with pass-through, any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi all, Quick question, if you use vGPU on ESXi, do you leave the VMWare SVGA 3D device enabled or disable it in Windows?

Did anyone here used AMD Processor + NVidia GPU + XenServer for Citrix VDI Solution - Any performance issue observed ?

I'm brand new to NVIDIA GPUs in XenApp servers so bare with me. I'm running the NVIDIA A16-4A GPU profile on 6 vCPU/48 GB VMs. On average, 10 users or less connect to these VMs. So I'm giving about 10 users 4 GB of video RAM to work with. I'm seeing an average of 80% of the GPU Frame Buffer being used at any given time on these servers. Is that a cause for concern or is 80% about right?

anyone available for hire to consult on nvidia vgpu with vmware and CVAD VDI?

WSL2 for server 2025? Thought this wasn't even supported in Win11 with vGPU

Hello all, I have an exisiting Virtual Apps setup (2411 - on-prem) on which I added an nVidia A40 GPU last week with a 2 GB A profile (for virtual apps). Everything works well and graphics performance has increased, but when we change monitors (dock / undock a laptop => external screen to laptop screen), the application is black with only fragments of the video. Does anyone recognize this issue / behaviour? Thanks
