vGPU is nice but is it affordable also??? #94
Comments
if you are looking to avoid vgpu licensing because you are aiming for a similar behavior as windows 10/11 gpu-p you have to spoof the hardware id's of the GPU. Note that sometimes doing this after the nvidia driver has been installed (even with a DDU removal) it will still ask for a license. |
Reads quite hacky what you're doing over there. 😅 |
that is what the libvirt xml hack does(not vgpu_unlock by it's self), allows the vgpu unlock to run on your nvidia gpu to spread across the vm's with out using a license.
As you can see windows sees it as a p5000 nvidia driver is using the generic quadro install and is seeing the vgpu card but not asking for the license. in your libvirt xml replace the first line with
this allows for qemu command line arguments to be passed
Then do a fresh install of windows and try diffrent versions of the quadro driver |
Thanks for this valuable piece of information! |
@noideaman sorry for my bad english. I can't find libvirt xml as I am new to Proxmox. how can i show my gtx 1070 as quadro p5000? can you help? |
@noideaman: |
Is this legally alright? I'm not particularly sure if this licensing is for commercial, personal or what. |
@genericness IANAL, but using something "not legally obtained" is not the issue, but actually legally obtaining it. If your project is just downloading something already obtained, i.e a webserver that hosts an ill-gotten grid driver, it won't be an issue, but again IANAL. |
Hey guys, don't get me wrong, your doing a fantastic job but the licensing is a showstopper unless I'm reading things wrong.

From the feature set it seems one needs the vWS license which is f***ing expensive for home users, isn't it?
What's the solution to this?
I almost jumped on the vGPU train to consolidate some gaming rigs, but this is definitely holding me off, even if Ampere should be supported somewhen in the future - which still is a big ? btw.
I think this issue should be noted as important in the readme!
Those YouTubers that make use of this work celebrate Nvidia for this vGPU feature but without addressing the licensing cost this remains a 90 days firework.
I guess Nvidia is not willing to give away the GeForce Now technology for free or at least at an affordable price for homies.
I'm curious about your views on the matter.
