Hello Team,

Can you please help me resolving the GPU issue on my VM?

I have setup a VM of size NC4as_T4_v3 with GPU.

In the display manager I can the see the GPU in the display adapter however the same is not visible in the task manager. I have installed latest CUDA drivers as well. When I check the command prompt 'nvidia-smi' there also it shows the same GPU however when I execute some python based process that has GPU enables, I am not seeing this GPU is being used and same is not shown in the statistics of the 'nvidia-smi' as well.

if any one of you have encountered the similar issue, can you please provide the fix for the same?

    @Uday Patil

    By default the driver installed for NC4as_T4_v3 doesn't include NVIDIA GRID which is needed to enable the graphics functionalities for this GPU. Please try installing it to see if it resolves your issue.
