  1. Release branches 2-6 predate the current support policy, which was introduced in vGPU software 7.0.

Branch Types

What Release of vGPU Software Should I Be Using?

NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software Lifecycle Policy defines the following branch statuses for NVIDIA vGPU software releases:

  • Production Branch releases, which are supported for 1 year
  • Long Term Support Branch releases, which are supported for 3 years

The release of vGPU software that you should use depends on whether you require a longer cycle of support or you want access to new features as they become available:

  • If you require a longer cycle of support from your deployed branch, for example, in production environments, use the latest release in a Long Term Support Branch. If all the features that you require are available in your currently deployed branch, you don't need to upgrade to a later Long Term Support Branch until your currently deployed branch reaches EOL.
  • If you want access to new features as they become available, for example, in test environments, use the latest Production Branch release.

Driver Versions

Note: The Linux vGPU Manager is for Linux-style hypervisors, namely: Citrix Hypervisor, Linux with KVM, Red Hat Enterprise Linux with KVM, Ubuntu, and VMware vSphere.
