Mixing vGPU profiles

Hi all,

is it now possible to mix different vGPU profiles/framebuffers on one gpu, e.g. on RTX8000?
I read about the MIG feature of the a100 an so on, but whould it be possible to have different vGPU profiles (2Gb/4Gb) for Windows 10/11 VMs?

thank you. best regards
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

at this stage no. What is currently supported (starting with vSphere8) is running different profile editions like 1B and 1Q on the same GPU. Different FB sizes on the same GPU is something that we’re looking at but won’t be possible on older generations like Turing.

Hi guys.

Any updates on the topic?
Can I create different FB sizes on my latest L40 GPU.
Or MIG supported GPU required to achieve different VM’s FB sizes?

Regards.

Hi all,

I have the same question as maxman, does anyone know the answer?
We have an A40, so not MIG enabled. Can I have a mix of FB profiles on the same host.

I understand with vSphere 8 we can mix the licenses i.e 1a and 1b but can we have an 8a and 1b on the same physical card?

Thanks in advance,
Graham

You can’t. We may see this as a new feature in the future.
