This repo contains patches that allow you to use vGPU on not-qualified-vGPU cards (consumer GPUs). Those patches are binary patches, which means that each patch works **ONLY** for a specific driver version.
I've created patches for the following driver versions:
- 16.0 (535.54.06) - Use this if you are on pve 8.0 (kernel 6.2)
- 16.1 (535.104.06) - Use this if you are on pve 8.0 (kernel 6.2)
- 16.0 (535.54.06)
- 15.1 (525.85.07)
- 15.0 (525.60.12)
- 14.4 (510.108.03)
- 14.3 (510.108.03)
- 14.2 (510.85.03)
You can choose which of those you want to use, but generally its recommended to use the latest, most up-to-date version (16.0 in this case).

If you have a vGPU qualified GPU, you can use other versions too, because you don't need to patch the driver. However, you still have to make sure they are compatible with your proxmox version and kernel. Also I would not recommend using any older versions unless you have a very specific requirement.

For example when I run a command like `chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.54.06-vgpu-kvm.run`, you should replace `535.54.06` with the driver version you are using (if you are using a different one). You can get the list of version numbers [here](#nvidia-driver).
