*!!! READ BEFORE YOU COMMENT OR TRY THIS FOR YOURSELF!!!* Do NOT attempt this on other VMs such as Virtual Box or VMware, as it will not work! At the time of making this video, I was uncertain about the script's compatibility with other virtual machines. That is why (as you can see at minute 0:22) I publicly requested anyone who tries this on other VMs to share their results in the comments. Many people did, and the answer is simply NO, it does not work on any other VM except Hyper-V. Therefore, if you truly want this to work, there is only one option... install Hyper-V. PS: Before you mention that you cannot install Hyper-V because you do not have Windows 10/10 Pro, let me tell you that it doesn't matter. There are ways!

@@TheArtmann Fair enough! Thank you. I appreciate the responses.

[@rtzgf67games7]

Just as a disclaimer since I didn't see anyone else talking about this. This will decrease your gpu's performance. It works by sharing the gpu (it's called gpu partitioning), which obviously lowers the performance of said gpu. Keep that in mind before doing this :D

[@TheArtmann]

...disclaimer since you haven't seen anyone else talking about this...? It's in the title - GPU Sharing - so it naturally divides the performance... it's exactly how a virtual machine works. When creating a virtual machine, you utilize the host's resources and distribute them among the VM. If you have 16GB RAM, you can't allocate the VM another 16GB, right? The same principle applies here. However, this is common knowledge, so I didn't think I needed to explicitly clarify the concept of "sharing".

[@rtzgf67games7]

@TheArtmann someone who doesn't know anything about VMs won't know how they work will they? Plus someone who has heard some stuff about VMs, could think this is GPU passthrough. I know it's in the title, but just in case you know.

Fantastic Tutorial, I have a question do you need to partition off the card every time you want to use the virtual machine with the GPU ie if you rebooted your real PC? Also how do you undo the GPU share is there a way to undo without a reboot? I subscribed I look following intelligent KZbinrs!

[@TheArtmann]

you don't need to partition every time. just if you make a driver update on host. if you want to undo it, then reinstall the driver.

[@chinogambino9375]

Thanks for the guide. So I tried it and it does work but there are some caveats. I was using Hyper-V, as far as I'm aware if you want sound you will have to use some work arounds or stay in enhanced mode. Hyper-V does not capture true mouse input, while games were 3D accelerated mouse look doesn't work. Menus elements and keyboard inputs work though. So if you are just doing productivity this will pretty much work fuss free out of the box. If you want to play any 3D games a solution like Parsec or some way to remote into your machine to send inputs over IP is needed. Another thing, It might seem excessive but if you are a dabbler like me I'd recommend making a system backup image(not a restore point, a real backup from "Backup and Restore" console) before trying this or try it in a lab environment. While killing the VM did give back the memory I lost GPU acceleration for video on the host for some reason, my system has a Ryzen 5800X3D and RTX2070 yet was dropping 50% of frames on 4k60 YT videos. Removing the VM gpu adapter from powershell did not resolve it. I do not understand this well enough to clean up my mess with PS commands so I resorted to reimaging and its back to normal. I hate wasting time trying to untangle operating systems. Super cool technology though, hoping Microsoft and the hardware vendors make VMs more accessible to normal users.

[@TheArtmann]

Wow. Thanks for your input man. TBH, because I always need to start with a new video after finishing the last, I do not have the time for further testing this stuff. In a video I give the "How to's" and hope for ppl like you to share their experience. And you did a great job. Thanks again!

[@TheArtmann]

Dude, I'm just trying to help you. If you start with "I don't see how this and that," you can take your problem elsewhere. I ask because I want to know if you have enough RAM to safely run both host and VM at the same time. Believe it or not, a lot of people wonder why their machine doesn't work, only to discover that they have a total of 4GB RAM. As for you, the error could be occurring for a few possible reasons, even if you're trying to change the RAM allocation in Hyper-V: Dynamic vs. Static RAM Allocation: If the VM is set to use dynamic memory, Hyper-V automatically adjusts RAM usage based on demand. Sometimes this can interfere with manually setting the memory. You may need to disable dynamic memory first. Resource Lock: Hyper-V might lock certain resources based on the current configuration or settings. If other VMs or processes are utilizing resources on the host machine, it may prevent increasing the RAM for a specific VM. Integration with Other Features: Certain features like GPU partitioning or SR-IOV might impose restrictions on modifying the RAM after the VM has been set up. These settings can sometimes conflict with memory changes. Host Resource Limits: If Hyper-V thinks your host is already running near its maximum capacity (even with 32GB of RAM), it might block the increase. There could be other background services or reserved memory causing this issue. To modifiy the Ram in Hyper-V, here's what you have to do: Shut Down the VM: You can’t modify the RAM while the VM is running. Make sure it’s powered off. Go to VM Settings: Right-click the VM in Hyper-V Manager, then select "Settings." Adjust RAM: Under the "Memory" section, you’ll see the option to increase the assigned RAM. Change the value from 4GB to 6GB. Save and Restart: Save your settings, and then start the VM again. This should let you modify the RAM allocation without worrying about the GPU partition. Let me know if that works! BYE!

@@TheArtmann Actually I fixed the problem where it said that it was not using any resources, by simply running the inbuilt-tool which scans the hardware in windows. So from now on, there is no error message. However, it still only shows up in device manager, and not task manager, and it still only uses the cpu integrated graphics. Mhhhh weird....Do any of you guys, that have gotten this corrrect, been able to either see your graphics card in task manager or even tried to run either radeon software or nvidia control panel/geforce experience with success??

@@TheArtmann I actually got this to work, using parsec to stream my virtual machine. So, it's now fully functional.

But I'll take it as a win, it works great.

I hope to receive an answer, does it work with an amd rx580 gpu? I asked the Gemini AI if there would be a problem if I ran those scripts and it told me "The script looks for folders that match nv_dispi.inf_amd64_* within the DriverStore. This assumes that you are using an NVIDIA graphics card. If you have an AMD or another card , this filter will not work. You will need to modify the script to match the correct name of your controller folder." "Make sure the paths C:\Windows\System32\, DriverStore and C:\Temp exist and are correct" (i cant find the C:\Temp\ folder, do I just need to create it manually?). "The script allocates a specific amount of VRAM to the GPU partition for the virtual machine. You are setting a minimum of 1GB, a maximum of 11GB, and an optimal of 10GB. You must ensure that your physical GPU has at least 11GB of VRAM "(can I change the 11 to a 4? Will there be no problems?). ******"The script is designed for NVIDIA drivers***** (AMD RX580) The script specifically looks for files related to NVIDIA drivers (nv_dispi.inf_amd64_*). If you have an AMD GPU, it will not find the correct files and therefore will not copy the necessary drivers for your card."" And I just realized, the difference in operating systems between the host (Windows 11) and the virtual machine (Windows 10) could cause problems with the GPU drivers. Since the host is 'sharing' the drivers with the VM, right?"

the nvidia driver mustbe up to date on the host machine. and is very important to realize that your hardware must be powerfull enough to run the host and the vm safely. if the resources are not enoug for the vm, then the results will not be as expected

Unfortunately the Powershell -> copy paste --> starts copying files is where everything broke down. "the operation cannot be performed when the virtual machine is in it's current state".

[@sasha_andrusenko]

Artmann, why is it that when I did everything according to your instructions, my video card is displayed as virtual render driver with error 43?

[@TheArtmann]

Error code 43 usually indicates a driver or hardware issue with your graphics card. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try: Update your graphics card drivers: Go to the manufacturer's website (NVIDIA or AMD) and download the latest drivers for your specific model. Check for BIOS updates: Your motherboard manufacturer might have BIOS updates that could resolve compatibility issues. Reinstall the graphics card: Carefully remove and reseat the card in its slot, making sure all connections are secure. Check for power supply issues: Ensure your power supply is sufficient for your graphics card. Test the graphics card in another system: If possible, try the card in another computer to see if the error persists. Make sure your operating system is up to date. Disable any unnecessary software or background processes that might be interfering with your graphics card. Check for any recent hardware changes or software installations that might have caused the issue.

Hello, I kept getting this error when i would launch my game in Hyper V: "D3D11 -compatible GPU (Feature Level 11.0, Shader Model 5.0) is needed". I followed this guide. My game now launched and shows an open window but the game application is just a blackscreen. I have tried adding -dx11 in the launch options hoping that would help but no avail. If you have any input I would appreciate it! I'm not sure what the issue could be.

[@TheArtmann]

It sounds like the error message you were originally receiving was related to DirectX 11 (D3D11) compatibility. Assuming you have already verified that your system meets the minimum requirements for the game (including having a DirectX 11 compatible GPU), there are a few possible explanations for the black screen issue you're currently experiencing. First, check that the game's graphics settings are configured correctly. Make sure the resolution and graphics quality settings are compatible with your system. If the game has recently been updated, it's possible that the settings were reset or changed. If the graphics settings seem correct, check that your GPU drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of issues with graphics rendering. Go to the manufacturer's website and find the latest drivers for your GPU model. If updating drivers doesn't resolve the issue, try running the game in windowed mode instead of fullscreen. This can help to isolate the issue and make it easier to troubleshoot. Another potential issue could be related to Hyper V itself. If you're running the game in a virtual machine, double check that the Hyper V settings are configured correctly. Make sure the virtual machine is using hardware-based GPU acceleration, as software-based rendering can result in poor performance or visual issues.
