Nvidia Windows Xp Drivers

[Reda]

Aninstance with an attached NVIDIA GPU, such as a P3 or G4dn instance, must have theappropriate NVIDIA driver installed. Depending on the instance type, you can eitherdownload a public NVIDIA driver, download a driver from Amazon S3 that is available only toAWS customers, or use an AMI with the driver pre-installed.

These drivers are intended primarily for compute workloads, which useGPUs for computational tasks such as parallelized floating-pointcalculations for machine learning and fast Fourier transforms for highperformance computing applications.

These drivers are certified to provide optimal performance forprofessional visualization applications that render content such as 3Dmodels or high-resolution videos. You can configure GRID drivers tosupport two modes. Quadro Virtual Workstations provide access to four 4Kdisplays per GPU. GRID vApps provide RDSH App hostingcapabilities.

On Windows, the Tesla drivers are configured to run in Tesla Compute Cluster(TCC) mode. The GRID and gaming drivers are configured to run in Windows DisplayDriver Model (WDDM) mode. In TCC mode, the card is dedicated to computeworkloads. In WDDM mode, the card supports both compute and graphicsworkloads.

If you create a custom Windows AMI using one of the AWS Marketplaceofferings, the AMI must be a standardized image created with Windows Sysprep to ensure that the GRID driver works. For more information, see Use EC2 launch agents to create an AMI with Windows Sysprep.

The options offered by AWS come with the necessary license for the driver.Alternatively, you can install the public drivers and bring your own license. Toinstall a public driver, download it from the NVIDIA site as describedhere.

Alternatively, you can use the options offered by AWS instead of the publicdrivers. To use a GRID driver on a P3 instance, use the AWS Marketplace AMIs as describedin Option 1. To use a GRIDdriver on a G6, Gr6, G5, G4dn, or G3 instance, use the AWS Marketplace AMIs as described in Option1 or install the NVIDIA drivers provided by AWS as described in Option 3: GRID drivers (G6, Gr6, G5, G4dn, and G3 instances).

Disable the display adapter named Microsoft Basic DisplayAdapter that is marked with a warning icon using DeviceManager. Install these Windows features: MediaFoundation and Quality Windows Audio VideoExperience.

Don't disable the display adapter named Microsoft RemoteDisplay Adapter. If Microsoft RemoteDisplay Adapter is disabled your connection might beinterrupted and attempts to connect to the instance after it hasrebooted might fail.

These downloads are available to AWS customers only. By downloading, inorder to adhere to requirements of the AWS solution referred to in the NVIDIAGRID Cloud End User License Agreement (EULA), you agree to use the downloadedsoftware only to develop AMIs for use with the NVIDIA L4, NVIDIA A10G, NVIDIA Tesla T4,or NVIDIA Tesla M60 hardware. Upon installation of the software, you are boundby the terms of the NVIDIA GRID Cloud End User License Agreement. For information aboutthe version of the NVIDIA GRID driver for your operating system, see the NVIDIA Virtual GPU (vGPU) SoftwareDocumentation on the NVIDIAwebsite.

For Windows instances, if you launch your instance from a custom Windows AMI, the AMI must be a standardized image created with Windows Sysprep to ensure that the GRID driver works. For more information, see Use EC2 launch agents to create an AMI with Windows Sysprep.

Your user or role must have the permissions granted thatcontains the AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess policy. Formore information, see AWS managed policy: AmazonS3ReadOnlyAccess in theAmazon Simple Storage Service User Guide.

NVIDIA Quadro Virtual Workstation mode is enabled bydefault. To activate GRID Virtual Applications for RDSHApplication hosting capabilities, complete the GRIDVirtual Application activation steps in Activate NVIDIA GRID Virtual Applications on your Amazon EC2 GPU-based instances.

Configure default credentials for the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell on your Windowsinstance. For more information, see Getting Started withthe AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell in theAWS Tools for Windows PowerShell User Guide.

Multiple versions of the NVIDIA GRID driver are stored in this bucket.You can download all of the available Windows versions in the bucket byremoving the -KeyPrefix $KeyPrefix option. For informationabout the version of the NVIDIA GRID driver for your operating system,see the NVIDIA Virtual GPU(vGPU) Software Documentation on the NVIDIA website.

Starting with GRID version 11.0, you can use the drivers underlatest for both G3 and G4dn instances. We willnot add versions later than 11.0 to g4/latest, butwill keep version 11.0 and the earlier versions specific to G4dn underg4/latest.

Navigate to the desktop and double-click the installation file tolaunch it (choose the driver version that corresponds to your instanceOS version). Follow the instructions to install the driver and rebootyour instance as required. To verify that the GPU is working properly,check Device Manager.

(Optional) Use the following command to disable the licensing page inthe control panel to prevent users from accidentally changing theproduct type (NVIDIA GRID Virtual Workstation is enabled by default).For more information, see the GRID Licensing User Guide.

Run the following PowerShell commands to create the registry valueto disable the licensing page in the control panel. The AWS Tools for PowerShellin AWS Windows AMIs defaults to the 32-bit version and thiscommand fails. Instead, use the 64-bit version of PowerShellincluded with the operating system.

NVIDIA Quadro Virtual Workstation mode is enabled by default.To activate GRID Virtual Applications for RDSH Applicationhosting capabilities, complete the GRID Virtual Applicationactivation steps in Activate NVIDIA GRID Virtual Applications on your Amazon EC2 GPU-based instances.

These drivers are available to AWS customers only. By downloading them, youagree to use the downloaded software only to develop AMIs for use with theNVIDIA A10G, and NVIDIA Tesla T4 hardware. Upon installation of the software, you are bound by the terms of the NVIDIA GRID Cloud End User License Agreement.

Before you install the NVIDIA gaming drivers, verify that you have the AWS CLI installed on your instance and have configured default credentials. For more information, see Installing the AWS CLI in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.

If you launch your Windows instance using a custom Windows AMI, theAMI must be a standardized image created with Windows Sysprep to ensure that the gaming driver works. For more information, see Use EC2 launch agents to create an AMI with Windows Sysprep.

Multiple versions of the NVIDIA GRID driver are stored in this S3bucket. You can download all of the available versions in the bucket ifyou change the value of the $KeyPrefix variable from"windows/latest" to"windows".

Run the following PowerShell command to create thisregistry value. The AWS Tools for PowerShell in AWS Windows AMIsdefaults to the 32-bit version and this command fails.Instead, use the 64-bit version of PowerShell includedwith the operating system.

Run the following command in PowerShell. This downloads thecertification file, renames the fileGridSwCert.txt, and moves the file to the PublicDocuments folder on your system drive. Typically, the folder path isC:\Users\Public\Documents.

If you receive an error when downloading the file, and youare using Windows Server 2016 or earlier, TLS 1.2 might needto be enabled for your PowerShell terminal. You can enableTLS 1.2 for the current PowerShell session with thefollowing command and then try again:
