Hi, thanks for putting this together. A few points from my installation exp building CloudGamingOnG4DN

  1. the nvidia drivers did not download to the dir. i had to installing using these instructions
  2. i have NICE dcv running on my laptop, connected to my machine but i cannot get resolution past 1080p. looks a little ridiculous - researching now how to fix it but wanted to report these to yall

thanks again

after a bit i couldnt get nice dcv to resize appropriately on the DN instance, i think it has something to do with the drivers. switched to AD instance type

the AD install worked fine. took me a little while to figure out the last pwsh command in the driver installation - thought "install" was a file that i couldnt find 😅 but nice dcv is working great with it. shutting down the dn server

i think it has something to do with the drivers.

Hi. I have also been testing this and I have found it is important to add the registry key as the last step. One the NVIDIA Instances.

  1. Install the NVIDIA Drivers,
  2. Install the NICE DCV Server.
  3. Install NICE DCV Display Drivers (this is where another "display/screen/output" is added to the Instance.
  4. Adding the Registry Key, basically tells the system to use the second screen (aka the one the NICE DCV created with 4K support AND use the GPU on it)

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/install-nvidia-driver.html I have also been making some improvements to this template, stay tuned for an update soon.
