# NVIDIA vGPU on Proxmox

This document serves as a guide to install NVIDIA vGPU host drivers on the latest Proxmox VE version, at time of writing this its pve 7.4.
You can follow this guide if you have a vGPU supported card from [this list](https://docs.nvidia.com/grid/gpus-supported-by-vgpu.html), or if you are using a consumer GPU from the GeForce series or a non-vGPU qualified Quadro GPU. There are several sections with a title similar to "Have a vGPU supported GPU? Read here" in this document, make sure to read those very carefully as this is where the instructions differ for a vGPU qualified card and a consumer card.

This guide and all my tests were done on a RTX 2080 Ti which is based on the Turing architechture.
## Important notes before starting
- This tutorial assumes you are using a clean install of Proxmox VE 7.3.
- This tutorial assumes you are using a clean install of Proxmox VE 7.4.
- Do **NOT** use the opt-in 6.x linux kernel, use the standard 5.15 that proxmox has by default
- If you tried GPU-passthrough before, you absolutely **MUST** revert all of the steps you did to set that up.
- If you only have one GPU in your system with no iGPU, your local monitor will **NOT** give you any output anymore after the system boots up. Use SSH or a serial connection if you want terminal access to your machine.
- Most of the steps can be applied to other linux distributions, however I'm only covering Proxmox VE here.
- You **HAVE TO** use a supported linux kernel version. Something in the range of 5.14 up to 5.18 should work. Newer kernels like 5.19 or 6.1 do **NOT** work at this point in time.
- You **HAVE TO** use a supported linux kernel version. Something in the range of 5.14 up to 6.0 should work. Newer kernels like 6.1 or 6.2 do **NOT** work at this point in time.
