Hello forum,
looks like i´m very stuck here. I´m trying to run a VM in Azure with a Nvidia Tesla M60. The performance is hell (i think about 1-4 frames per second). I followed the Guidelines on how to enable the dedicated GPU but with no effort. I´m using Citrix Workspace (2109) to access the Windows 10 multisession. Wether i use RDP or bastion the problem stays, i did run a test on WebGL water, the performance is very low. Even on my Laptop with non-dedicated graphics the perfomance is compared to the VM very well.
I´m using the Nvidia GRID driver from microsoft (471.83 for Server 2019), dxdiag shows the correct adapter (NVIDIA Tesla M60 instead of the Indirect Display Adapter).
What is the problem here? I wanted to run some 3D, CAD-Application - but i have no luck using the M60. The Graphics utilization monitor always shows (Inactive), it seems that the dedicated GPU is not used at all.
Can you post the output from nvidia-smi -q from within the VM? I’m wondering if the VM is properly licensed…

GPU is licesend properly. I’m wondering if you enabled the GPU as default graphics adapter for RDSH? You need to configure a local policy. Otherwise you won’t see GPU utilization in RDP sessions.
Hello Simon,
i don´t intent to use rdp - i´m using Citrix Workspace App to connect remote to my VM.
But i guess you meant this setting:
Right now, i´m reading your article about setting up the right configuration for citrix… (choosing the right remoting protocol…)i found it somewhere on the nvidia-website.
In addition I wouldn’t disable the WDDM driver policy in your screenshot above. Never did this and I don’t really know how this affects the OS.
The Citrix-Support told me to disable it, but i see it´s for VDAs 2006 or later. I´m disabling it now.
I´m using WDDM now. I look at the graphic status bar now, shouldn´t it say GPU:Nvidia?
No idea. Never used that indicator bar :) Why not simply check with nvidia-smi if you see GPU load ?
Or use a tool like GPUProfiler to make sure everything works as expected.
