Using GPU on Hyper-V

Question

I'm trying to run AMD Radeon RX580 (Sapphire brand, 8GB memory) on Windows 10 (64-bit) Hyper-V Guest using this instruction:

1. Install GPU drivers to host
2. Add Gen 1 VM to Hyper V (Server 2016 / Windows 10)
3. Do not use Dynamic Memory
4. Set properties of VM in hyperV to shut down when host shuts down
5. Find GPU in device manager go to properties and get the "location path" detail. Will look similar to this but longer PCIROOT(0)#PCI(0200)
6. Run below command on Hyper V host Dismount-VmHostAssignableDevice -locationpath "PCI-Location-path" -force
7. Add-VMAssignableDevice -LocationPath "PCI-Location-path" -VMName "name-of-VM"
8. Run this command (remember to set the -HighMemoryMappedIoSpace to the maximum of your GPU VRAM)
9. Set-VM "name-of-your-VM" -GuestControlledCacheTypes $True -LowMemoryMappedIoSpace 2000MB -HighMemoryMappedIoSpace 8000MB

I have tried to install there drivers:

• whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-17.4.3-apr17.exe
• win10-64bit-radeon-software-adrenalin-edition-18.3.3-march18.exe

But both failed to work with Windows 10 Hyper-V guest. What could be missing?

Solution

Today I need to share GPU from Windows 10 with Hyper-V with a Virtual Machine that contains an Windows 7 with Graphical Software, I use only the PowerShell Command at this tutorial (in link bellow) and appeared at VM Setting the rule Remote Fx (with that feature, is possible to calibrate the dedicated GPU):

1-Open Windows Powershell as Administrator mode;

2-Check if the Physical GPU is visible by Hyper-V service:

Get-VMRemoteFXPhysicalVideoAdapter

3-Enable your Physical GPU for with Hyper-V service (at this example, my GPU Card name starts with "NVIDIA"):

Get-VMRemoteFXPhysicalVideoAdapter -Name *Nvidia* | Enable-VMRemoteFXPhysicalVideoAdapter

4-Associate VmRemoteFx enabled before to your VM (this needed to be turned off):

Add-VMRemoteFx3dVideoAdapter -VMName [Windows7-DEV]
