If you are a paying customer, please open a support ticket with Enterprise Support to get some more information on timing.
I was just going to ask the same thing. Win 11 drivers work fine, for now. But iâm waiting to deploy my GPU-P until Nvidia releases official drivers.
Iâm not paying customer (if you donât count that i paid s*** ton of money for Nvidia GPUs lol)

I have purchased 4 of the Nvidia A40 GPUs so I would consider myself a paying customer.
I am looking for the windows 2025 server gpu-p, do you have a release date?

I have âonlyâ 2000$ RTXA4500 in my server.
But yeah, itâs bit absurd that Nvidia requires you to be âpaying customerâ to get any information.
You pick any Nvidia RTX/Quadro or Data Center/Tesla card and they are way more expensive (if itâs relative recent one) than the equivalent GeForce-cards.
Itâs bit absurd that we pay thousands of dollars in enterprise/datacenter cards and we get treated like a peasant cause we are not âpaying customersâ. Nvidia gives these cards out for free then? Where? Would like to sign up for one. đ
Unfortunately, I donât understand your complaint above. It should be clear that L40 requires a vGPU driver to serve Windows 2025 once we support this OS. As vGPU is a licensed product, it should also be obvious that we cannot simply provide information for unreleased products without NDA in place or being a customer that has access to our Enterprise Support.
BTW: RTXA4500 is a totally different story. Here you can use the publicly available RTX driver. This has nothing to do with vGPU.
Where is the publicly available RTX-drivers for Windows Server 2025? Didnât find one in Nvidia drivers website.
Any update on when the public release of the Windows Server 2025 drivers will be made available? I also believe anyone that purchased a NVidia card should be considered a paying customer.

I guess what @sschaber intends to explain to @asko and the other guys, is that GPU-P is a feature which is only available with vGPU-software, but those require an additional license (vGPU-License) and also are available only for specific GPUs & systems which you can find on the release notes - i.e. you cannot find the RTX4500 that @asko mentioned above, but A40 or L40 mentioned by ben.22 or abinks are on the list. But still you need vGPU-license to use features like GPU-P (which is a feature to use (a partition of the) GPU in a VM⊠but this is nothing new - in the past you would need vGPU-license for using GPU in a VM using technologies like Remote-FX or DDA (discrete device assignment).
As asko is asking about windows server 2025 drivers for RTX4500 I guess (and so will @sschaber) that @asko wants to use the RTX4500 on a bare metall-installation of windows server 2025.
