Hyper-V supports is GPU passthrough, a feature that allows virtual machines to access the host’s GPU directly. this feature allows graphics intensive workloads like gaming or video editing on Hyper-V guest.

Requirements

  • Need a GPU that supports GPU virtualization, such as NVIDIA GRID or AMD MxGPU technology
  • Your CPU needs to support IOMMU (Input-Output Memory Management Unit) virtualization, which is required for GPU passthrough
  • GPU passthrough is not supported for virtual machines that use Dynamic Memory
  • GPU passthrough is only available on specific editions of Windows Server, such as the Datacenter edition

Enabling Hyper-V GPU passthrough[1]

  • Install the latest graphics drivers for both the host and virtual machine
  • Configure the virtual machine to use RemoteFX for GPU virtualization
  • Assign the GPU device to the virtual machine
  • Install the RemoteFX 3D Video Adapter driver on the virtual machine
  • Configure the virtual machine to use the RemoteFX 3D Video Adapter
