Pass-Through a NVIDIA GRID K1 to VM on ESXi 6.0 - 414
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 09. 2016
- The NVIDIA GRID K1 is a pure Server GPU card. It is meant to give servers GPU Power.
In this Video we install it in my 24/7 IBM x3650 M3 Server. And I pass it through to a virtual machine in VM-ware ESXi 6.0

My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time. - Věda a technologie
Thanks for the video.
I always wanted to know how virtualization can work with dedicated performance components.
Thanks for taking a shot and learning along with us!
Hi Jeremy Worcester
Thank You very much! I am glad you got something out of my video(s)
If you could help me out with giving the video(s) a like, that would be awesome to :-)
I have fund that IT people are more restrained and cautious, then a lot of other groups. And CZcams uses the Likes to determine if they shout push the video to more people... so the likes are important :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
My PlayHouse Haha sure thing man.
Keep up the good work!
Morten, I love your approach to leaning and doing this stuff... just throw it together and find out if it works or not. I can spend countless hours searching, reading and listening to too many people babble on about how it should work, or I can just watch you do it and find out in a short time. It is a very practical approach and much appreciated.
AS for passthrough graphics:
I use an ATI Firepro card in pass-through in a similar setup for OpenGL, etc. (CAD) on my HP DL380 G6. I can not access a desktop powered by my firepro card over the vsphere client, but must access it with Team-viewer which works quite well. I can only access the desktop powered by the native vmware soft SVGA 3D driver with the client, and even then there are mouse compatibility issues when it shares a VM with the Firepro card. However, with teamviewer, no problem.
You may have to have a license installed in vsphere 6 (vGPU) to exploit the full power of the Grid which was designed by NVidia in cooperation with VMware for just such an application. The free ESXi license only has that for the 60 days, then it is not present unless you buy it.
I also believe the comment about PCOIP is correct in that you must access using horizon view. HV seems to be a large headache for small office, and is quite expensive. Hopefully they streamline in the near future.
Where did you get the GRID for 100 euros?
Good video, it was interesting seeing you troubleshoot

Hi Morten,
I wanted to ask you what version/type of esxi you are using.
Because im guessing the VMware vSphere Essentials Plus Kit,
And also that im researching to build my own VMware 'closet' farm :)
And ofc, nice video (y)
Hi Dennis Wieringa
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
I use a way overkill version of VM-ware,,, I have seen that "Paul Braren" has a video on how to get a good copy for the right price! check out his video: czcams.com/video/js4WoKve_w8/video.html
Thank you for watching! :-)
I had similar problem. Actually you enabled 3d graphic acceleration and now you can use it ONLY through remote desktop (it is black screen in vmware or hyper-v because there is no support for RemoteFX 3d render adapter). Add user to remote desktop in VM win 7 then do everything you did installing Nvidia drivers, restart but after this connect through RDP and IP. My server is S2600COEIOC+2xE5-2670+64GB ecc+Nvidia 1060 6GB + (win 2016, 3x win 10, Linux Mint, XP VM-s) but it is "almost" the same stuff. And... I bought 16x to 16x cable for 2.5€, you can dismount, unscrew pci-e holder and use extension cable direct to 16x onboard pci-e slot. That was my first thought when I saw you cutting 8x slot. For some unknown reasons I had to disable onboard graphics in bios to make it all work. I am waiting for 8x to 8x extension cable and 2x SAS to 4 sata cables to connect RMS25KB080 raid. Have you ever used this raid controller?
And one friendly suggestion, look at github.com/cedrozor/myrtille great free web based rdp, I used it through company proxy, ok I also have direct net in my office but this stuff is very useful. Install it on one of your servers and you could have web rdp to all of your servers. Maybe I am strange but I want to have access from everywhere to all of my computers.

what is that cool monitor and keyboard combo thing you use in your rack? looks really useful and that ibm keyboard looks comfy to type on
Hi TheDieselBoiler
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
I know for sure that on some laptops that have a Nvida GPU and an Onboard Intel GPU that you can right click on the application and choose what GPU to run it with. However if the server doesnt have that, have you tried looking in the nvidia control panel :)
Thank you for watching! :-)
This my favorite video now
Hi
Thank You very much!
Thank you for watching! :-)
I have a laptop with dual GPUs and I can say that you can select what GPU to use for certain applications. Should be in NVIDIA's driver control panel.
Hi
Thanx for the sugestions!
Thank you for watching! :-)
First I want to commend you on your enduring patience with this project, as I've seen your videos go back quite some time!
Have you tried removing the VMware video card device from the VM so the Nvidia device is the only one installed on the VM? Also, are you plugging in the monitor directly to the video card DVI/HDMI connector for initial FPS tests? (to rule out remote consoles from slowing things down) ..
I'm about to attempt a similar video card passthrough project for my work.. In my case though, I don't need FPS because I am only going to use it for local KVM access to VM jump server for a training lab.
Where I work we have a training lab where we have several high-dollar arrays like Isilon, XtremIO, VNX, etc (shipped over for training purposes), but they only gave us one FC switch and one Dell host (in the entire lab).. Since they wanted trainees to be able to play around with multiple host OS types, I decided I would set up the Dell physical host using ESXi 6.0 and configure NPIV to virtualize WWPNs to VMs. I will use a VM nested on it for vCenter, and also a Windows VM installed will act as a 'jump server' to administer the environment while in the lab. For the jump server I am going to have the PCI passthrough enabled for the local Radeon R7 250 and a USB controller, so that a local monitor, keyboard, mouse can be plugged in, in order to manage vCenter and the lab VMs..
This way we can have our ESXi for running many different types of FC connected hosts on, and also have a way to work with it while in the lab without requiring to plug in a laptop into the environment.
So as long as the video works for me then I don't care about FPS.
Anyways, keep it up, labs are fun (better than video games), and they help us get smarter all along!
Hi +Samsonite801
Thank you for that long message I hope you will go see my videos on trying to Pass through a Nvidia GTX 8800 and failing. Then I switched to a AMD Radeon R7 260 X I had a lot more luck with that one.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Kul video, bra jobbat!

So what do you do with the VMs?
Do you just Remote Connect into it on another PC and are able to the more powerful CPU on the server?
Hi troyBORG
Yes,, you can have a lot of powerful VM's that you can have do different stuff.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Thank you for a vital video for vm passthrough. I have 2 suggestions: 1-you have used the driver of the windows server 2012 R2 in a windows 7 machine, try using the windows 7 driver. 2-when you added the PCI device you added only one of the grid. you have to go back to install the other 2 available so that you can use the full power of the GRID card.
Hi Mamdouh Tawadros
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
you also forgot that you needed to install the driver on the esx host itself.
Keep it up :) please do a followup video

Pretty good video :D I want to have a server too, thanks for teaching n_n
HI
Well we was really just more or less problem solving :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
I really enjoy watching this kind of videos, greetings from Peru
Hi Screamer26
Glad you like it :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Congrats. You are simply amazing.
16:11 Can you only add one GPU to the VM-server(Add hardware->PCI device) or can you just repeat the process 3 times?
Hi
Thanx,, well I haven't gotten to try to add more then one :-) yet.
Thank you for watching! :-)
I'm wondering if the card isn't performing as well as expected because it's running as x8 instead of x16 and isn't getting enough bandwidth on the bus. I also don't know its power consumption but maybe its needing to draw more power than the server power supply can handle? I have never done this and have no experience with the grid cards so I don't know.
the server powersupply has a max output of 650w if i remember correctly
there are people who tested bandwith
like linus with pci lanes and graphicscards
HI
No it shout do a lot better even on x8 :-) the test showed the VM-ware GPU not the Nvidia one. :-/
Thank you for watching! :-)
My specific use case requires me to have many small render nodes each with their own dedicated GPU running on their own OS's and I was considering going through and passing through 4 GPUs per node using ESXi (probably 1080s or 1070s with the CPU being ryzen 1800 or 1700), and I was wondering if it might be better for me in terms of heat and power AND cost to purchase a K1 or K2 instead. My work does not require more than 1gb of vram per working node, as far as I've been able to tell. What has your experiance been in terms of heat output and/or performance on your GRID K1?
Hi Muzzled
Thank You very much! The Nvidia Grid K1 is not very fast,, way slower than even a 1070.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Ah that sucks. Love your videos.
Oh, that wonderful keyboard...an IBM with a track point and 3 track point buttons. Priceless! Where can I get one of those? (Oh, and is it USB, or still an old PS/2 one?)
Hi
I have a converter from ps2 to USB on it :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
My PlayHouse OK, but where to get this keyboard? What is its name? That is such a great device, I'd want it on any PC I use...
HI Seegal Galguntijak
This is a newer one I think : amzn.to/2dfHH8d
way to expensive...
Thank you for watching! :-)
My PlayHouse Yeah, well, that's the whole console (and it has a useless track pad, LOL) - I wanted only the keyboard with the trackpoint, not the whole setup with the monitor and 19" slideout mechanism etc...
Hi!
That's pretty interesting, but as you are using a "faulty" card, you should check it first in a non virtualized environment.
Put it in another server running WinSrv12 or Win7 just to check what you can get from it.
Regarding the PCI-E interface, it will certainly not be able to use all the GPUs with an 8x. PCI 16x uses 2 lines of 8x to work as far as I know, so you may have some cores on the first line connected to your PCI 8x port and the other "should" be connected to the second line but are inactive in this case.
Interesting thing to do after that would be to install the GPU in a standard desktop with PCI 16x port with ESXi running and add it to the pool to make it available to your servers. Do you think it's something possible???
Keep going!!
Hi Fabien Lamaison
Thank You very much! lots of good sugestions that I will keep in mind.
Thank you for watching! :-)
your webcam is posessed XD constantly zooming in and out for no reason.
really cool to see how all this works, as ive worked on esxi hosted instances before, but always wondered how the admin stuff works
Hi
Yes that web Cam has a mind of it´s own :-/
Thank you for watching! :-)
I was going to say the same thing! I was wondering if it was the webcam or if he was actually playing with zoom and whatnot! Guess it was the possessed webcam!
cinebench r15 detect the cards on my esxi 5.5 with win7x64 & enabled vmware vga gpu and a ATI HD 5770 & 6670 & Nvidia GT220 | main hardware were: asus p9d-ws, kingston ecc ddr3 32gb, gpu in the second x16 (in my case split to x4 slot - 8/4/4)
HI
I have been fighting this all weekend,, new videos will be coming.
Thank you for watching! :-)
cool vid how much would u estimate ur server room cost if u dont mind telling me?
just a rough estimate.
by the way u seem like a cool guy 👍
Hi dustin lykins
uhh 20-30.000$ -ish used server equipment is hard to sell
Thank you for watching! :-)
Wow i was thinking something like that nice setup tho been trying to watch all ur vid i can, i like learning anything electronic
Just a thought - try booting the server directly off a USB stick running a flavour of Linux - then at least you can put the graphics card through its paces without any issues or VM overhead.
Hi
Thanx for the sugestions!
Thank you for watching! :-)
You could try do disable the VmWare graphics adapter in device management.
Hi
Yes,, more videos are coming on this :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
you was like "I really need to use antistatic", but from the second time on you was like "oh fuck it"

If I want to get myself a home server, should I get a Tower, a Rack server or what would you recommend and which model.
And do you need a rack for a rack server or can i just put it on the ground or on a table?
PS: cool video, very interesting :-)
Hi Tobstar138
If you want a cheap good server to play with. I made a video talking about that : czcams.com/video/p2lGufUYIZw/video.html
But if you want a 24/7 server that has to stay in your room under your bed :-) maybe go more this way : czcams.com/video/TqoazLMZNXY/video.html
Thank you for watching! :-)
Keep it simple, try to use quality desktop parts in stead of enterprise propriatary (= $$$) hardware if money is an issue.
My PlayHouse
Thx :-)
If you disable the VMware graphics adaptor in device manager that might work
Hi Daniel Storer
I am working on this... now

Just let us know when the wood stove project is done so we can order the hookers
HI Steven Perez
First thing!
Thank you for watching! :-)
awesome
nice video :) maybe the fourth GPU is occupied by the "real" server. (I think even when the onboard is active one GPU will be used by the host OS (at least its like that on desktop OSes like Windows)
HI
Yes that is not a bad suggestion,, It might do that! :-/

Hi Chris Merani
Thank You very much! No I have Soooo many problems with my AMD FirePro V7900 Host crashes when I boot the VM that have the card :-/
Thank you for watching! :-)
hi playhouse, do you rent out servers in your datacenter?
No,, to dangues for me!
At 14:00 you should really turn off that Auto-Zoom feature on your Webcam. It keeps zooming in and out on you.
HI
Yep,,, that to! :-/
Thank you for watching! :-)
What would your recommendation be for an alternative card to the k1?
The K1 is outdated now,,, the last two cards I bought was gaming cards.
These are GPU accelerator engines and they are to be used with another graphics card like a Quaddro 5000.
Hi C MJ
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
You can try duplicating the two virtual displays in Windows display settings, you might be able to get video through the VMware Video Viewer.
Hi
Thanx for the sugestions!
Thank you for watching! :-)
Try disabling the VMware VGA adapter in device manager and try again.
And/or remove the vmware 'onboard' card.
I know from RL experience that was 90% the issue with added cards

I bet it is a beast for video encoding.
HI
I hope it will be good for that! but compared to gaming cards it is actually not that fast.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Very true. Workstation cards are for stability and 3D modelling, not FPS.
Did you message the seller to see what they have done? they could point you in the right direction regarding how they had troubleshooted it
Hi
No I did not,, my German is not that great :-/ and they did sell it as broken.
Thanx for the sugestions!
Thank you for watching! :-)
Morten, you and I are much alike! Someday, I want to have a house EXACTLY like yours! Server farm, solar farm/controller/supercapacitor+battery bank...I love it! (especially as it looks like you live somwhere nice and snowy...I LOVE winter!)
Maybe you can give me some advise? I have a good friend who is the IT manager at a large datacenter, and he can get me 3 year old servers for very good prices. Is there any way to use compute-only GPU card (like this one, or maybe Tesla, older ones that are cheaper) loaded into as many as possible to run a web-based game (Star-Citizen Alpha 3.2)? Is there any way to optimise a game for a rack of servers like this (with compute GPUs like Teslas in them)?
Thank you for any help,
Tyler
Hi GuerrillaRadio
Thank You very much! I have done quite a few videos on trying to install a GPU in a Server,, Windows is no problem,, VM-ware ESXi is hard.
Thank you for watching! :-)
you can test folding@home. It can use more than one GPU to fold proteins.. That will probably confirm if this card works
Hi
I rather it just works in a test program :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Did you try to disable the vmware svga-device in windows Device-Manager?
HI
No, this is one of the things I am going to try. Thanx

Can you remove the virtual graphics card from the VM guest so that the VM only sees the Physical one? If your interested i´d be happy to help you setup some Terminal Servers that hopefully can use the Grid card.
HI
Can you in Terminal Server control what GPU is used?
I also wants to try on something newer then win7.
Terminal Servers
I don't know of a way to control what GPU TS uses, but how about just removing/uninstallting the vmware one?
I´d recommend running the TS on 2008R2, but thats just a personal preference over 2012r2.
HI
Yes needs to try on something newer! :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Try doing some Folding @ Home on that new GPU.
Hi
I think I will let others play with that! :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
I meant just for testing, you can see the number crunches per a min. I would ofc not suggest you run it 24/7 since the heat and power would be ALOT.
im wondering if i can share vgpu on the other VDI that resides on a host that has no gpu
No that will not work.
Could you tell me what these servers are used for? Like not trying to steal secrets or something, just so I know
Hi Nandan Here

Dear My PlayHouse, I love your keyboard. What model is it?
Got it, it is IBM Space Saver II SSK2 RT3200
Okay,, be careful to get the right language for the keyboard.
Hello, can you explain for me, I bought dell r5400 server, why server has 2 ethernet ports? And how can i connect 2 servers? How i can control they with my pc? And connect that servers to router? Sorry for my english language...
I need a switch? And connect two servers to switch and from switch cable to router and from router to pc?
HI
Servers often has 2 or 4 network ports,, You only need one for it to work.
Yes you need a switch.

I finally gave up on ESXi for my home server, as there's no way to force it to enable write-caching on my IBM ServeRAID m1015 controller. :(
I can't handle 3.5MB/sec writes when I'm copying 2TB of backup data...
HI *****
Does it have battery backup?
Thank you for watching! :-)
The server has a UPS attached to it, but the RAID Controller itself doesn't.
HI *****
I have the M5015 and it has it's own little Li-ion battery on the Raid card,, so if power is lost it will keep not written to disk data for up to 72 hours.
You might not be aloud to use "enable write-caching" with out this :-/ safety,,, Maybe.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Why are you pasing it through when you can use vGPU. Just install the Nvidia Grid ESXI drivers and configure your VM to use hardware GPU. This way you can share the GPU with all your VMs on that machine. I do the same thing with Nvdia Quadro 4000 and 5000 on ESXI 5.5 (the vGPU drivers don't work in 6).
And when you connect to the Console, it will Always use VMWare SVGA driver. You need to use Teamviewer, VNC etc. to let it use the GPU.
HI
It does not work in ESXi 6.0,,,, that sucks :-/
I did not understand the last part, with Teamviewer, VNC etc. to let it use the GPU.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Why does it not work? They release the GRID cards specially for ESXI 5.5 and 6.If you want the GPU en driver to work, you need to use Teamviewer, VNC, etc. If you use VSpere Console, it will active VMWare SVGA driver and not NVIDIA driver. That's why you had low FPS in the benchmark.
HI Xmoo123
I got this : www.citrix.com/content/dam/citrix/en_us/documents/products-solutions/reviewers-guide-for-hdx-3d-pro.pdf
That looks promising.
Thank you for watching! :-)
With Xendekstop is is indeed easier. But it would be cool if you get it correctly working on ESXi 6 with the vGPU.You're welcome, love your videos.
do you have a playlist about how to make a server room just like yous I am only 13 yes old and I think you have a great server room
Hi
I have playlists with all my server videos,, but not on how to build a Server room. I have had it for 5 years before I started on making videos. :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Looks like it lacks some drivers? Isn't that always the problem with Windows? Maybe install the NVidia software that is meant for this card?
Hi
Thanx for the sugestions!
Thank you for watching! :-)
My PlayHouse You are welcome - but did you try that? Did it work? Or did I really have to suggest that (since you seem to know your stuff about computers as well as I do, or with Windows maybe even a little better)? ;)
Hi Seegal Galguntijak
I did install the Nvidia driver in the video.
Thank you for watching! :-)
what do you do with so many servers?
I mean what do you use them for?!
HI
Do check out my F.A.Q. under the about tab here on my channel where a answer that :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
What rails do you use?
Hi
Original ones :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Think your K1 suffer from the same failure mine does, think the heat killed it. I did how ever installed it in a 2012R2 server directly and it did find all 4 GPU's, but said that one was not working.
Think I read something about installing a driver in ESfor it to work, how ever I'm sure your AMD will be alot faster in rendering than the K1.
HI
How are you using yours?
Thank you for watching! :-)
Right now I'm using it for holding up my Nvidia Quadro 4000 :)
(it is just laying on the desk). I only used it for some CUDA and VDI tests
(CUDA I just used BOINC to max it out, not really that exciting)
Do you have an Xserve? Or are u only using Windows.
Hi +PC GUY 1241
I do not have a Apple Xserve. Is that one high on your list ?
Thank you for watching! :-)
nope. but i like your server racks!
Why do you stick to vmWare stuff? It is extremely expensive. Have you tried SmartOS? If not, you really should give a try.
HI
I hope you know that the VM-ware ESXi is free. And I like it,, it's awesome.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Yeah, I know ESXi is for free but it has some limitations imposed on resources.
HI fizykone

Hello maybe use NVIDIA® NVIEW to connect your VM. Cool video
Hi
Do you use that?
Thank you for watching! :-)
I did not use that, but I have seen on youtube.
Go on nvidia site and read about it.
hello! I believe you need to make some customization using horizon view to effectively utilize the k1 card. drop me a pm and I might share the instructions :)
you also need a vib installed on the esxi rather than passing it through.. it makes better utilization of the gpu.
HI
I did try that route,, czcams.com/video/CVKlxFkBk_Y/video.html
Did not work out for me :-/
Thank you for watching! :-)
Hello yeah
Thank you for watching! :-)
I have an hp dl360p g8 server if iam add a videocard Nvidia Quattro m2000 i get no no remote console in ilo gray screen if iam remove the card ilo remote console work
You might have to tell it in bios,,, to use build in card,, that is how it is no IBM/Lenovo.
Don't forget the extra powersupply
HI
Yes I did not show that,, but it got it,, I stole it from no. 15 and gave it to no.17 :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Those servers are in your house? dam the electric bill must be high
Hi Alejandro Rubio
I do get this question from time to time, so I have added it to my F.A.Q. that you can check out under the "about" tab here on my channel. I give a longer answer there.
Thank you for watching! :-)
My PlayHouse Thanks!
Vile den slags kort virke sammen med mit nuværnde.. på en Gaming/ video editing rig? :)
kanon videoere du laver! jeg elsker dem
HI
English channel please.
If you are into gaming, this card is way to expensive. Go with a 1080 something way cheaper.
The GRID´s are made for virtualization, and performs very poorly compared to a gaming card.
And the same goes for video editing,, for video editing on a WS,, gamercard! best value for the money.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Noswolf kop Ville nok valgt et annet kort, som feks Nvidia Quadro eller AMD FirePro - hvis det er til videorendring! :)
thank you so munch :) an i will keep it english from now on :)
thank you :) now its time to get a 1080.. an Quadro for rendering
If you are buying a Quadro as an extra GPU, maybe you are better with buying just a Titan XP?(Pascal)
fx8350 vs e5-2670
Which is better?
for what?
rendering and gaming
Hi
They do not fit in anything i got :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
disable the vmware card in windows 7 vm, make sure static IP is enabled, enable RDP support in 7 and connect via your Win 2012R2/10 desktop as teamviewer really sucks for what your attempting to do
just note RDP acts as its own video card as well, almost forgot about that, maybe instead of RDP use VNC instead from realvnc.com, disable vmware gfx you shouldent see much of a bottleneck
Hi
Thanx for the sugestions!
Thank you for watching! :-)
how do you get all this stuff?
Hi swedisch elite hacker system!!!!!!
I do get this question from time to time, so I have added it to my F.A.Q. that you can check out under the "about" tab here on my channel. I give a longer answer there.
Thank you for watching! :-)
I could'nt actually find anything in the FAQ where you answer that specific question. But I guess you buy them for your website..?
I don't understand, why the virtualization features are disabled in the BIOS/UEFI. My notebook had it also disabled, but it's not server gear, where virtualized environment is expected. Maybe performance issues in some cases (when used in non-virtualized environment)?
The joking part of my comment: OK, now it's time to step your game. Today's LTT video is about some webcams, while yours is about a 4 GPU graphics card. Time to become famous. All you need is speak in high-pitched voice and leave the technical details out. Wearing idiotic costumes is optional :).
On second thought: your channel is more similar to Tek Syndicate and I'm here not on their channel. So don't change! :) I'll stick to MyPlayhouse and LTT.
Hi
Well I do enjoy LTT,, I always see the Wan show,, and i pick the interesting videos form the past week.
Thank you for watching! :-)
I'm not sure if the Grid K1 and K2 are meant for computational computing, or more for VDI, maybe both?
Here is a video that gives a very good explanation
czcams.com/video/pXfg-NZ9R4Y/video.html
Very high level, but it does mention that you SHOULD have one actual Video card along with the GRID which is what you have but you are still getting a blank screen. IT explains how the drivers work too, just watch the whole thing and you will know all you need!
Hi Ante
uhh long video, but it looks interesting.
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
please try rendering something using Blender + Cycles Renderer + CUDA
HI
I am not that much in to Blender,,
Thanx for the sugestions!
Thank you for watching! :-)
fair enough, do you plan on using anything similar like cinema4d or houdini?
Hi Matthew Smith
Video rendering and 3D max
Thank you for watching! :-)
My PlayHouse
thanks i cant wait to watch it :)
You're video's are always very helpful and im also looking for a Nvidia Tesla 12gb i can buy one from the German eBay for €239(Thanks for the TIP) since the amarikano eBay says No we don't sent you that.But i'm not sure if it will fit im my Dell poweredge R720 and i most deferentially will NOT cut op my extension bay well i guess i got to download the user manual or just buy it and if it doesn't work i can always sell it again because what is €239 for a Nvidia Tesla 12gb when they come new at the amazing price of $5,899.- that's €5424,37 for me and that is 40470,07.- Danish crown
The Dell R720 might be new enough to have a x16 slot,, so no cutting is needed,, I cut my riser card,, they are not to expensive :-)
@@MyPlayHouse Yeah after some reading i figured out i got 2 16x slots so its gonna be fun.I saw in a more recent video that i think this same server stopped working did you manage to find the problem yet ?
hi try go in bios of ur VM before it boot :)
Hi pierre-alexandre lemay
What are we looking for?
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Same as ur host :) me its like that but with 2x nvidia Geforce Gtx980Ti and at first time i have this error and just check out the graphics card in Vm bios for boot on the vmware virtual gpu :)
The GRID K1 is actually VERY weak by today's standards! 4x 192 CUDA cores of the Kepler Architecture, each with 4 GB of VRAM - but still, just 192 Kepler CUDA cores running at 850 MHZ is incredibly weak. The windows score seems about correct given the nature of this strange GPU - modern Intel iGPUa should perform about the same.
Hi DysphoricSmile
Thank You very much! It's hard to keep up with the latest of the latest.
Thank you for watching! :-)
Noooo "POWER C-STATES" only throttles you're CPU is really useless if you're machine will make really heavy computing calculations (that you say earlier are intended to do with this GPU) i mean in simple words "it will decrease the clock and other features of you're CPU but also will make in many times inconsistent the PERFORMANCE not a good choice if you need power and are enabled virtualization options also turbo modes and similars, in the past i suffer with that option in INTEL powered server"
Hi dranenko
Thank You very much!
Thank you for watching! :-)
My PlayHouse No problem Morten i enjoy a lot you're channel, hope my experience with this feature can help you, also you help me with you're videos so tks either to you!
HI dranenko
It did,, It can be really hare to remember all this, and if I have to look it all up again,, I will never get a video done :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
I want to be you, can we swap lives?
Hi Joshua Nicoll
Thank You very much! I am not usually complaining, so I must be happy.
Thank you for watching! :-)
VMware wants that nice C# Client to die. They want you to use that shitty web-client. So go to your vcenter (vcenter:9443) and log in.
Go to your virtual Machine, and add a shared PCI-Device. - The clien asks for the profile. Select NVIDIA GRID vGPU.
I'm not sure, maybe you have to add a GPU profile first.
As well this may help: blogs.vmware.com/euc/2015/03/nvidia-grid-vgpu-vmware-horizon.html
HI
Thanx,, I have been fighting this battle all weekend!
New videos will come :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
EPIC FAIL!!! HAHA
Hi bbpetrov
Well it was not a total loss :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
It was fin! I am trying to make VT-d enabled server for home experiments with some VMs running. Did the host software have to be ESXi or proxmox only? Is it possible to do the same with FreeBSD host and virtualbox-ose without X11? Thank you!
bbpetrov Sorry I only Play with ESXi.
