# NVIDIA vGPU with the GRID 14.2 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 510.73.06 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.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
This guide and all my tests were done on a RTX 2080 Ti which is based on the Turing architechture.

## NVIDIA Driver
|
||||
|
||||
As of the time of this writing (June 2022), the latest available GRID driver is 14.1 with vGPU driver version 510.73.06. 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 14.1 (510.73.06).

I cannot guarantee that newer versions would work without additional patches, this tutorial only covers 14.2 (510.85.03).
|
||||
|
||||
### 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-510.73.06-510.73.08-512.78.zip`, you can get it from the download portal by downloading version 14.1 for `Linux KVM`.
|
||||
NB: When applying for an eval license, do NOT use your personal email or other email at a free email provider like gmail.com. You will probably have to go through manual review if you use such emails. I have very good experience using a custom domain for my email address, that way the automatic verification usually lets me in after about five minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
The file you are looking for is called `NVIDIA-GRID-Linux-KVM-510.85.03-510.85.02-513.46.zip`, you can get it from the download portal by downloading version 14.2 for `Linux KVM`.
|
||||
|
||||
For those who want to find the file somewhere else, here are some checksums :)
|
||||

||||
md5: bb330fa7f26e11bebeadefdee9c71e84
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
After downloading, extract that and copy the file `NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.85.03-vgpu-kvm.run` to your Proxmox host into the `/root/` folder
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
scp NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.73.06-vgpu-kvm.run root@pve:/root/
|
||||
scp NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.85.03-vgpu-kvm.run root@pve:/root/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Patching the driver
|
||||
|
||||
Now, on the proxmox host, make the driver executable
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.73.06-vgpu-kvm.run
|
||||
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.85.03-vgpu-kvm.run
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And then patch it
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./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
|
||||
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.85.03-vgpu-kvm.run --apply-patch ~/vgpu-proxmox/510.85.03.patch
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should now have a file called `NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.73.06-vgpu-kvm-custom.run`, that is your patched driver.

### Installing the driver
|
||||
|
||||
Now that the required patch is applied, you can install the driver
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.73.06-vgpu-kvm-custom.run --dkms
|
||||
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-510.85.03-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`.

### Spoofing your vGPU instance
|
||||
|
||||
#### Note: This only works on Windows guests, don't bother trying on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
You can very easily spoof your virtual GPU to a different card, so that you could install normal quadro drivers instead of the GRID drivers that require licensing.
|
||||
|
||||
For that you just have to add two lines to the override config. In this example I'm spoofing my Turing based card to a normal RTX 6000 Quadro card:
