I’ve got some 6000 Ada cards that I can’t switch to compute mode. Two cards in the system, one works, one doesn’t, they appear to have different firmware levels.
Is it possible to get an updated displaymodeselector tool with current firmware images?
Thanks

When did you download the modeselector tool?
4/5 days ago.
Version 1.67 date modified 5/13/2024
So it’s the latest one. Where did you buy the GPU? I would try to replace it
Is that the only option? I have 20x GPU’s in a Evaluation setup looking at vGPU’s for render farms and remote access.
Yes, ADA 6000 is a workststion GPU and not meant for DC usage. Therefore the default mode is not DC. This is different for L40S which is almost the same GPU but for DC usage and there you don’t need to change mode for vGPU usage.
I’m confused.
The documentation very clearly states that the 6000 ada is capable of being used for vgpu tasks.
I have a number of cards working well. The issue is that the display mode selector does not have an up to date firmware to work with current cards.
Is the documentation wrong?
For sure it is working and supported for vGPU, but as I said the primary use case is different. Therefore you need to accept the obstacle to use the mode selector tool.
And as you seem to have bought vGPU licenses, please open a support ticket and address the issue with the selector tool with our Enterprise Support
I’m very confused by this.
The headline on the Display Mode Selector tool reads:
NVIDIA Display Mode Selector Tool
The NVIDIA Display Mode Selector Tool is a utility to set the desired display mode for NVIDIA L40S, NVIDIA L40, NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada, NVIDIA A40, NVIDIA RTX A5000, NVIDIA RTX A5500, and NVIDIA RTX A6000 GPUs. Changing the display mode is supported for specific use cases, including CAVES, Virtual Production, and Location-based Entertainment.
It is specifically designed to switch GPU with output ports into vGPU capable cards listed in that statement.
Is therefore not a reasonable request to expect the tool to support current vbios versions that would exist on the cards that the tool is designed to use?
I’m currently using an evaluation license, so do not have access to support, but can’t evaluate because I need access to support to help get the tools working!
Hi, I had the same problem, how did you solve it?
