Notes

Table of Contents

1NVIDIA vGPU software supports only 64-bit guest operating systems. No 32-bit guest operating systems are supported.

2 CentOS releases derived from supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases are also supported as a guest OS.

3 Not a complete list. Refer to vendor product documentation for complete support details.

4 For supported Horizon versions, see Virtual GPU Software for VMware vSphere Release Notes. For supported Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops versions, see Virtual GPU Software for Citrix Hypervisor Release Notes.

5Support for NVIDIA vGPU software requires the Premium Edition (previously Enterprise Edition) of Citrix Hypervisor. For details, see Licensing in the Citrix documentation.

6 The following GPUs are supported only in displayless mode and do not support physical displays:
  • NVIDIA A40
  • NVIDIA RTX A5000
  • NVIDIA RTX A6000
  • Quadro RTX 6000
  • Quadro RTX 6000 passive
  • Quadro RTX 8000
  • Quadro RTX 8000 passive

7 Only compute workloads on Linux with GPU pass through are supported. NVIDIA vGPU and graphics acceleration are not supported.

8 All Windows 10 releases supported by Microsoft up to and including this release are supported.

9 Not supported on GPUs based on architectures after the NVIDIA Turing™ architecture.

10 Support for Windows Server 2019 requires Citrix Hypervisor 7.1 cumulative update 2.

11 Support for Ubuntu 1804 requires Citrix Hypervisor 7.1 cumulative update 2.

12 Only Tesla M6 is supported as the primary display device in a bare-metal deployment. All GPUs listed that support graphics acceleration are supported as a secondary device in a bare-metal deployment.

13 RemoteFX vGPU has been deprecated by Microsoft since Windows Server, version 1803.

14 The NVIDIA vGPU for RHEL KVM package to use depends on the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that corresponds to the particular kernel version in your RHV release. For details, see Red Hat Virtualization Life Cycle, specifically, the table in "Red Hat Hypervisor Upgrade and Support Policy".

15vCS is not supported on GPUs based on the Maxwell architecture.

16 Only compute workloads on Linux with GPU pass through or NVIDIA Virtual Compute Server vGPUs are supported. Graphics acceleration is not supported.

17 Red Hat Enterprise Linux with KVM and RHV support Windows guest operating systems only under specific Red Hat subscription programs. Client Windows guest operating systems are supported only on RHV. For details, see:

18 Only GPU pass through is supported.

19Support for NVIDIA vGPU software requires the Enterprise Plus Edition of VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi). For details, see VMware vSphere Edition Comparison (PDF).

20 vSGA is supported only by Horizon and only on the following GPUs:
