Seems to be catching…
Thanks for all of the terrific work here - it has me thinking about my current plex server set up and some new possibilities. Currently I run a Windows 10 VM with a Tesla P4 GPU passed thru from a Dell R730xd server running Windows Server 2019/HyperV. The set up works really well as the standard (zero cost) Tesla data center drivers enable transcoding in Plex. Now, thanks to this thread, I’m considering new possibilities for this media server with a fully fledged GPU that is equivalent to a Quadro P4000 in performance. So I’ve attempted to follow the instructions and I’m presented with 4 registry entries by virtue of the HyperV set up - 0000 = hyperV video adapter; 0001 = Microsoft remote display adapter (EnableMsHybrid=1); 0002 = another Microsoft remote display adapter (this one with an EnableMsHybrid=2); and 0003 = Tesla P4 (also with an EnableMsHybrid=2)… see pictures. Tried various combinations and can’t seem to get the Tesla P4 showing up as the high performance GPU, always the remote display adapter only. I think registry entry 0001 is the issue here, but not sure how best to handle that smoothly. Just wondering if anyone has encountered this and has a possible solution? Will keep tinkering myself, but no point reinventing the wheel! Thank you.
not quite sure if it’ll work on the virtualized GPU, I haven’t tested it because I’m a cave monkey, but if all else fails the windows insider Dev build should work without fail, the cons are you have to run the dev build of windows insider and you have to tell it to use the tesla on a per game basis

After doing more research, it would appear that when not using Windows Insider, you need a Haswell CPU. I compared this to the guides that used the P106-100 mining GPU with passthrough, which also use the AdapterType and EnableMsHybrid hack.
I even noticed, that the EnableMsHybrid on my H97 board wasn’t needed.
I’m currently looking into a method to choose which GPU should be my high performance GPU. Windows 10 Insider (Dev channel) is supposedly giving that option, but it doesn’t appear for me. They may have removed it or Windows simply refuses to accept the K20Xm as a high performance GPU at all, unless it’s the only GPU with a driver that it recognizes correctly.
If anyone knows how to modify Windows and force a GPU as High Performance, please let me know.

I might give that a crack… thank you!

Great find. Do you think it’s possible to set Windows 10 Pro up to use two GPU card to perform gaming rendering?

So far we haven’t enable SLI yet but we do have at least one GPU game-able on multi-gpu cards

This is good news. If two powerful GPU can be combined to render a single game then that can take GPU processing to the next level.
Can you tell me what GPU you are using for your experimenting?
I just made an offer on a new K80 just in case the price starts going through the roof on Tesla Cards.

In your opinion, what do you think that would look like if you could combine the power of say a 3090 and a over clocked Tesla K80 to render a game.

You can’t combine them, you use one video card for the “eyes” and the Tesla for the “muscle”
Tesla does all the work and the other is just to give video
I have personally used a k40 and a M40
Others have used a grid k2 and k80
You will be better off with a single GPU card like the k40 as dual GPUs can’t use both and are weaker than the k40
I would highly recommend you read the entire thread before attempting
It can be difficult and is not very compatible with a lot of motherboards

Possibly an alternate solution if you guys like hyper V

Watched this yesterday. Very interesting - this is in preface to the next video showing how this is done on Hyper-V and I believe he says Proxmox also -

I got my paycheck. I am looking to sell my GTX 970 and get a tesla. What would be an OK oe to get. I see some K40’s for 50 bucks, that seems ok.
My end goal is literally just something to handle OBS and rendering. I can’t find anything that says I can use dual chip cards for that, so I will do without. Thats fine anyways, as I want the extra power cable off my PSU for other stuff. Namely a giggaccel X8i.
I know the M2090 would be a fun toy, I want a tool.

Where are you finding 50$ k40’s
This is almost not terrible if you don’t consider I paid 135 for mine

I think it’s also 12GB despite the description saying 24
No way they’d be selling the 24GB version that cheap
