How to tell if GPU drivers are set up correctly? #77

Open adammw opened 2 years ago

adammw commented 2 years ago

I have run the scripts and have finally got a VM booted and connected remotely via Parsec, however can't seem to launch any games requiring 3d acceleration.

dxdiag shows Direct3d support not available, and 3dmark fails to install.

Device manager shows a Microsoft driver in use for the Nvidia device, not sure if this is expected or not given the Paravirtualization passthrough?

Nvidia-smi tool shows some data detected, but others show "Permissions error".

Are there known good games to test against or example applications / what the drivers should look like when working correctly?

Your GPU is really old, NVIDIA says that Pascal is the minimum for this technology (1000 series NVIDIA) so I'm guessing that may be contributing to your issue

I recently upgraded to Nvidia Driver 511.23. The upgrade process didn't work but creating a new VM seems to now be working.

dxdiag is now showing Direct3D acceleration enabled and the Hyper-V monitor/session no longer disconnects when Parsec logs in. So "dxdiag" seems to be the best source of information so far.
