No, we're sure it has to do something with the host driver. But since we updated to v18 of the Nvidia driver the performance on 22H2 is very bad and upgrading to 24H2 gave errors. We are running new pilots with 24H2 and we go from there.
interesting.. is this reproducible on your side? (install 22h2, upgrade to 24h2) if yes, do you want to share a few more details (e.g. which windows version, specific settings, etc.) so i can look into that?
I have an nVDIA Tesla P4 card.
I was wondering if anyone has tried installing or successfully installed vGPU driver version 16.11 on proxmox 8.4 (i have 8.4.11 installed) with kernel version 6.8 (i have 6.8.12-13) . Will the stock 16.11 driver available from nVIDIA site work without patching as there is no patch available for 16.11 yet. This version was only released recently in July 2025 so was wondering being a recent version if this would be compatible with kernel 6.8 on proxmox 8.4.
I have also found a patched and ready to download vGPU driver version 19.1 (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-580.65.05-vgpu-kvm-custom.run) what is the sitituation for this version on proxmox 8.4 with kernel 6.8. I have read on the guide at PolloLoco-NViDIA vGPU guide that any driver version higher then 16,x will need to be patched for Tesla P4 as nVDIA dropped support for P4 from verion 17.x onwards.

I think the official drivers dropped support such old cards. But i could be wrong. I would use an older version with a patched driver.
You mean to say that an unpatched driver version 16.11 will also not work (I understand that there could be problems for drivers 17.x and beyond unless properly patched). The nVIDIA resource at NVIDIA® Virtual GPU Software Supported GPUs says that the 16.x is last version supported for Tesla P4. On this basis I was wondering if an unpatched 16.11 will install correctly and build kernel modules for kernel 6.8 on 8.4.4.
I am fairly sure 16.11 will build a DKMS module for 6.8 because officially Ubuntu 24.04 is supported. There is no official support for Proxmox in that version yet, but in newer versions there is. You'd have to experiment with newer version numbers.
Hi there, I have the following Lenovo workstation: ThinkStation P620
I have followed all the steps in Proxmox documentation NVIDIA_vGPU_on_Proxmox_VE regarding vGPU but when I do
