Hello together!

I would like to use a P4 card for vSGA sceneries.

Where can I find the appropriate driver? (6.7 u3)

Thanks in advance,
Ron

Hi,

are you aware that you will need vPC licensing for this use case? You need to download the vGPU driver from the Nvidia licensing portal.

Hi,

somehow it’s all a bit diffuse, think that licensing is nevertheless only necessary for the use case of vgpu!?

Hi,

Everything is described in our guide:

See Table 13 for vSGA use case.

Best regards

Hi simon,

thanks for the pdg.

What exactly does “VMware Horizon vSGA” mean?

Where is the difference (license) between vGPU/vSGA?

What about K1/2 cards?

regards

Hi,

there is no difference in terms of licensing between vSGA and vGPU. As you will need to pay for vPC anyways, customers tend to use vGPU instead of vSGA to benefit of all the advantages as vSGA doesn’t provide all the features vGPU does.

K1/K2 doesn’t require licensing at all but you won’t get current drivers for these extremely old GPUs. Even P4 is already pretty old. We are now at Ada which means: Pascal → Turing → Ampere → Ada. So we are now 3 generations in advance with the current GPUs.
