I’m connecting to a virtual workstation using Nice DCV, and I’m unable to use resolutions higher than 2560x1600. What causes this limitation? Here’s the error in Xorg log file. ```plaintext [11558.675] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): NVIDIA VGX (DFP-0): connected [11558.675] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): NVIDIA VGX (DFP-0): External TMDS [11558.675] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Mode (3840 x 2400) larger than per-head max resolution [11558.675] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): supported (2560 x 1600) ``` I read that some vGPU licenses are limited to 2560x1600. But according to `nvidia-smi` this is not a vGPU. ```plaintext # nvidia-smi vgpu No supported devices in vGPU mode ``` ```plaintext # nvidia-smi -q ==============NVSMI LOG============== Timestamp : Thu Jun 15 02:38:57 2023 Driver Version : 525.89.02 CUDA Version : 12.0 Attached GPUs : 1 GPU 00000000:00:1E.0 Product Name : Tesla T4 Product Brand : NVIDIA Product Architecture : Turing Display Mode : Enabled Display Active : Disabled Persistence Mode : Disabled MIG Mode Current : N/A Pending : N/A Accounting Mode : Disabled Accounting Mode Buffer Size : 4000 Driver Model Current : N/A Pending : N/A Serial Number : 1325121103675 GPU UUID : GPU-f292bdfc-c478-a47e-4196-af022ca72721 Minor Number : 0 VBIOS Version : 90.04.96.00.02 MultiGPU Board : No Board ID : 0x1e Board Part Number : 900-2G183-A800-001 GPU Part Number : 1EB8-895-A1 Module ID : 1 Inforom Version Image Version : G183.0200.00.02 OEM Object : 1.1 ECC Object : 5.0 Power Management Object : N/A GPU Operation Mode Current : N/A Pending : N/A GSP Firmware Version : 525.89.02 GPU Virtualization Mode Virtualization Mode : Pass-Through Host VGPU Mode : N/A IBMNPU Relaxed Ordering Mode : N/A PCI Bus : 0x00 Device : 0x1E Domain : 0x0000 Device Id : 0x1EB810DE Bus Id : 00000000:00:1E.0 Sub System Id : 0x12A210DE GPU Link Info PCIe Generation Max : 3 Current : 3 Device Current : 3 Device Max : 3 Host Max : N/A Link Width Max : 16x Current : 8x Bridge Chip Type : N/A Firmware : N/A Replays Since Reset : 0 Replay Number Rollovers : 0 Tx Throughput : 0 KB/s Rx Throughput : 0 KB/s Atomic Caps Inbound : N/A Atomic Caps Outbound : N/A Fan Speed : N/A Performance State : P0 Clocks Throttle Reasons Idle : Not Active Applications Clocks Setting : Not Active SW Power Cap : Not Active HW Slowdown : Not Active HW Thermal Slowdown : Not Active HW Power Brake Slowdown : Not Active Sync Boost : Not Active SW Thermal Slowdown : Not Active Display Clock Setting : Not Active FB Memory Usage Total : 15360 MiB Reserved : 399 MiB Used : 782 MiB Free : 14178 MiB BAR1 Memory Usage Total : 256 MiB Used : 11 MiB Free : 245 MiB Compute Mode : Default Utilization Gpu : 0 % Memory : 0 % Encoder : 0 % Decoder : 0 % Encoder Stats Active Sessions : 0 Average FPS : 0 Average Latency : 0 FBC Stats Active Sessions : 0 Average FPS : 0 Average Latency : 0 Ecc Mode Current : Enabled Pending : Enabled ECC Errors Volatile SRAM Correctable : 0 SRAM Uncorrectable : 0 DRAM Correctable : 0 DRAM Uncorrectable : 0 Aggregate SRAM Correctable : 0 SRAM Uncorrectable : 0 DRAM Correctable : 0 DRAM Uncorrectable : 0 Retired Pages Single Bit ECC : 0 Double Bit ECC : 0 Pending Page Blacklist : No Remapped Rows : N/A Temperature GPU Current Temp : 39 C GPU T.Limit Temp : N/A GPU Shutdown Temp : 96 C GPU Slowdown Temp : 93 C GPU Max Operating Temp : 85 C GPU Target Temperature : N/A Memory Current Temp : N/A Memory Max Operating Temp : N/A Power Readings Power Management : Supported Power Draw : 24.98 W Power Limit : 70.00 W Default Power Limit : 70.00 W Enforced Power Limit : 70.00 W Min Power Limit : 60.00 W Max Power Limit : 70.00 W Clocks Graphics : 585 MHz SM : 585 MHz Memory : 5000 MHz Video : 810 MHz Applications Clocks Graphics : 585 MHz Memory : 5001 MHz Default Applications Clocks Graphics : 585 MHz Memory : 5001 MHz Deferred Clocks Memory : N/A Max Clocks Graphics : 1590 MHz SM : 1590 MHz Memory : 5001 MHz Video : 1470 MHz Max Customer Boost Clocks Graphics : 1590 MHz Clock Policy Auto Boost : N/A Auto Boost Default : N/A Voltage Graphics : N/A Fabric State : N/A Status : N/A Processes GPU instance ID : N/A Compute instance ID : N/A Process ID : 92301 Type : G Name : /usr/libexec/Xorg Used GPU Memory : 92 MiB GPU instance ID : N/A Compute instance ID : N/A Process ID : 92387 Type : G Name : /usr/bin/gnome-shell Used GPU Memory : 68 MiB GPU instance ID : N/A Compute instance ID : N/A Process ID : 93962 Type : C+G Name : /usr/libexec/dcv/dcvagent Used GPU Memory : 535 MiB ``` OS: Rocky Linux 8.7 Platform: AWS EC2 g4dn.8xlarge GPU: Tesla T4 Driver: 525.89.02 [Xorg.0.log](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/uploads/short-url/e5eyEnkMB5e6XkcQ02PjZjgfKJa.log) (24.3 KB) ---

While you’re not using vGPU software, Teslas still use virtual heads with that limitation when used as graphics device. IIRC, on older Teslas it was possible to fake a “real” head using the ConnectedMonitor xorg.conf option but I don’t know if that still works.
