Azure N-Series VM NVIDIA Tesla K80 VM instance GPU/Display Adaptor Issue

Have a N series Windows 10 VM on Azure with Tesla K80 display adaptor. The VM doesn't seems to use the GPU properly. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Following are the issues with the Azure VM:

1. Playing GTA is very laggy and you play frame-by-frame.

2. The VM doesn't uses the NVIDIA Display Adaptor for the default Generic PnP Monitor. enter image description here

3. DxDiag is not showing the correct display adaptor information. enter image description here

4. GPU not showing in Task Manager. enter image description here

Solution

  • Probably you can try to switch the GPU to WDDM mode. By default it is in TCC mode. To do that go to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI folder. Run nvidia-smi command-prompt utility to see the current mode and GPU Id. Then run the command

    nvidia-smi -g {GPU_ID} -dm 0

    or

    nvidia-smi -g {GPU_ID} -fdm 0

    to switch to WDDM.
