A few days ago, NVIDIA released their latest enterprise GRID driver. I created a patch that allows the use of most consumer GPUs for vGPU. One notable exception from that list is every officially unsupported Ampere GPU.

Two days ago, NVIDIA released their latest enterprise GRID driver. I created a patch that allows the use of most consumer GPUs for vGPU. One notable exception from that list is every officially unsupported Ampere GPU and GPUs from the Ada Lovelace generation.

This guide and all my tests were done on a RTX 2080 Ti which is based on the Turing architechture.

### This tutorial assumes you are using a clean install of Proxmox 7.3, or ymmv when using an existing installation. Make sure to always have backups!
|
||||
|
||||
The patch included in this repository should work on other linux systems with kernel versions 5.13 to 5.16 but I have only tested it on the current proxmox version.

This guide should work for other linux systems with a recent kernel (5.15 to 5.19) but I have only tested it on the current proxmox version.

If you are not using proxmox, you have to adapt some parts of this tutorial to work for your distribution.

|

|

> nvidia-uninstall

|
||||
> Then you also have to make sure that you are using the latest version of `vgpu_unlock-rs`, otherwise it won't work with the latest driver.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Either delete the folder `/opt/vgpu_unlock-rs` or enter the folder and run `git pull` and then recompile the library again using `cargo build --release`

## Important note when spoofing
|
||||
|
||||
When I originally wrote this guide, the latest quadro drivers were from the R510 branch, but nvidia has since released multiple drivers in the R515 and R520 branch, those will **NOT WORK** and maybe even make your VM crash.
|
||||
You have to pick a Quadro Driver from the same driver branch, so in this case R525. Using newer drivers will **NOT WORK** and maybe even make your VM crash.
|
||||
|
||||
If you accidentally installed such a driver, its best to either remove the driver completely using DDU or just install a fresh windows VM.
|
||||
|
||||
The quadro driver for R510 branch can be found [here (for 512.78)](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/189361/en-us/) or [here (for 513.46)](https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/191342/en-us/). I've had the best results with 512.78 but the other could work too. But anything newer than that, will **NOT WORK**.
|
||||
The quadro driver for R525 branch can be found [here (for 527.27)](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/196728/en-us/).

If something isn't working, please create an issue or join the [Discord server](https://discord.gg/5rQsSV3Byq) and ask for help in the `#proxmox-support` channel.
|
||||
|
||||
When asking for help, please describe your problem in detail instead of just saying "vgpu doesn't work". Usually a rough overview over your system (gpu, mainboard, proxmox version, kernel version, ...) and full output of `dmesg` and/or `journalctl --no-pager -b 0 -u nvidia-vgpu-mgr.service` (<-- this only after starting the VM that causes trouble) is helpful.
|
||||
Please also provide the output of `uname -a` and `cat /proc/cmdline`
