Problem upgrading to new GPU: RTX 2080 to RTX 3060 Ti

[brando148]

Hello all, I've been a consistent user of Easy-GPU-PV for about a year and have pretty consistently solved any issues that have popped up on my own, but this one is getting the best of me. I am running 3 VMs under my host machine. 2 VMs using an RTX 2070 Super (Primary PCIe Slot) 1 VM using an RTX 2080 (Secondary PCIe Slot) The VMs using the 2070 have been rock solid and have given me no issues. However the 3D design application I am using the 2080 for is giving me pretty consistently low frame rates and I found a really great priced 3060 Ti and verified that VIP3D (the app I use) will offer better performance than the prior card. After swapping cards, and updating host/VM GPU drivers to 536.99 using the "Update-VMGpuPartitionDriver.ps1", I started the VMs using the 2070 to verify these are still working properly. Once these started without issue, I started the "BrandonWin" VM which previous used the 2080. This created the following error:

Start-VM : 'BrandonWin' failed to start.
GPU Partition (Instance ID 8689E9CA-B1DB-4C72-8C36-47F5D549808A): Error 'Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.'.

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Start-VM], VirtualizationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Unspecified,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands.StartVM

I shut down all VMs and the host to swap back to the 2080 to make sure there was no issue there, and it started right up. I am back to the 3060 Ti and continue to get the same error. Any help diagnosing, or working around this issue is appreciated.

Update: I was looking through some old issues and came across #65 I used the following script that was put together there as follows to a new VM using the same VHD as my previous VM:

This has put the new card into my device manager but with the infamous error 43

put in the 2080, remove the gpu-partition from the VMs then swap to the 3080 and add them back. You'll need the following script to do it too, I think:

#280 (comment)

I assume I should set GPUResourceAllocationPercentage = 0 in this instance, in order to remove it?

[mitchellurgero]

No, you would use the cmdlet to remove the gpuadapter completely: Get-VMGpuPartitionAdapter -VMName "VM Name" | Remove-VMGpuPartitionAdapter

[brando148]

This worked just fine! Thank you for your help.

[mitchellurgero]

I'm glad it worked!
