# NVIDIA vGPU with the 510 driver
Thanks to the great work of a `LIL'pingu` in the vgpu unlock discord we can finally use the (at the time of writing) latest NVIDIA GRID driver with the version number 510.47.03 with most consumer GPUs. Personally I have tested the T1000, a turing based card but others from the discord server got it working with a pascal based card as well.

The patch included in this repository should work on other linux systems with kernel versions >= 5.13 but I have only tested it on proxmox.
If you are not using proxmox, you have to adapt some parts of this tutorial to work for your distribution.

By default Proxmox 7.1 has the 5.13 kernel, but you can opt-in to the newer 5.15 version. Both versions work just fine for vGPU.
If you didn't install a newer kernel on proxmox, then skip the following line. If you have the 5.15 kernel, it is required that you also install the corresponding kernel headers:
```bash
apt install -y pve-headers-5.15
```
Next we need to install a few more packages like git, a compiler and some other tools. This is required no matter which kernel version you are using.

## NVIDIA Driver
As of the time of this writing (March 2022), the latest available GRID driver is 14.0 with vGPU driver version 510.47.03. You can check for the latest version [here](https://docs.nvidia.com/grid/). I cannot guarantee that newer versions would work without additional patches, this tutorial only covers 14.0 (510.47.03).

I cannot guarantee that newer versions would work without additional patches, this tutorial only covers 14.1 (510.73.06).
### Obtaining the driver
NVIDIA doesn't let you freely download vGPU drivers like they do with GeForce or normal Quadro drivers, instead you have to download them through the [NVIDIA Licensing Portal](https://nvid.nvidia.com/dashboard/) (see: [https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/vgpu-software-driver/](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/vgpu-software-driver/)). You can sign up for a free evaluation to get access to the download page.
The file you are looking for is called `NVIDIA-GRID-Linux-KVM-510.47.03-511.65.zip`, you can get it from the download portal by downloading version 14.0 for `Linux KVM`.
The file you are looking for is called `NVIDIA-GRID-Linux-KVM-510.73.06-510.73.08-512.78.zip`, you can get it from the download portal by downloading version 14.1 for `Linux KVM`.
After downloading, extract that and copy the file `NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.47.03-vgpu-kvm.run` to your Proxmox host into the `/root/` folder
After downloading, extract that and copy the file `NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.73.06-vgpu-kvm.run` to your Proxmox host into the `/root/` folder
```bash
scp NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.47.03-vgpu-kvm.run root@pve:/root/
scp NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.73.06-vgpu-kvm.run root@pve:/root/
```
### Patching the driver
Now, on the proxmox host, make the driver executable
```bash
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.47.03-vgpu-kvm.run
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.73.06-vgpu-kvm.run
```
And then patch it
```bash
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.47.03-vgpu-kvm.run --apply-patch ~/vgpu-5.15/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.47.03-vgpu-kvm.patch
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.73.06-vgpu-kvm.run --apply-patch ~/vgpu-5.15/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.73.06-vgpu-kvm.patch
```

### Installing the driver
Now that the required patch is applied, you can install the driver
```bash
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.47.03-vgpu-kvm-custom.run --dkms
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.73.06-vgpu-kvm-custom.run --dkms
```
The installer will ask you `Would you like to register the kernel module sources with DKMS? This will allow DKMS to automatically build a new module, if you install a different kernel later.`, answer with `Yes`.
