The NVads V710 v5-series virtual machines are powered by AMD Radeon™ Pro V710 GPUs and AMD EPYC™ 9V64 F (Genoa) CPUs with a base frequency of 3.95 GHz and all-cores peak frequency of 4.3 GHz. VMs take advantage of the AMD Simultaneous Multithreading technology to assign dedicated vCPU threads to each VM. Both Windows and Linux VMs are supported.
The series provides five options ranging from 1/6 of a GPU with 4-GiB frame buffer to a full V710 GPU with 24-GiB frame buffer. No other GPU licensing is required for use of AMD GPU-based VMs. The NVads V710 v5 VMs also support NVMe for ephemeral local storage capability. The NVads V710 v5-series enables right-sizing for demanding GPU-accelerated graphics applications and cloud-based virtual desktops to provide a seamless end user experience while providing a cost-effective choice for a full range of graphics-enabled virtual desktop experiences. The VMs are also sized to deliver high-quality, interactive gaming experiences in the cloud, optimized for rendering and streaming complex graphics.
The NVads V710 v5-series virtual machines also support small to medium AI/ML inference workloads such as Small Language Model (SLMs), recommendation systems and semantic indexing, by taking advantage of the computational IP blocks in the Radeon Pro V710 GPUs.

1Temp disk speed often differs between RR (Random Read) and RW (Random Write) operations. RR operations are typically faster than RW operations. The RW speed is usually slower than the RR speed on series where only the RR speed value is listed.
Storage capacity is shown in units of GiB or 1024^3 bytes. When you compare disks measured in GB (1000^3 bytes) to disks measured in GiB (1024^3) remember that capacity numbers given in GiB may appear smaller. For example, 1023 GiB = 1098.4 GB.
Disk throughput is measured in input/output operations per second (IOPS) and MBps where MBps = 10^6 bytes/sec.

Data disks can operate in cached or uncached modes. For cached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to ReadOnly or ReadWrite. For uncached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to None.
Expected network bandwidth is the maximum aggregated bandwidth allocated per VM type across all NICs, for all destinations. For more information, see Virtual machine network bandwidth
Upper limits aren't guaranteed. Limits offer guidance for selecting the right VM type for the intended application. Actual network performance will depend on several factors including network congestion, application loads, and network settings. For information on optimizing network throughput, see Optimize network throughput for Azure virtual machines.
To achieve the expected network performance on Linux or Windows, you may need to select a specific version or optimize your VM. For more information, see Bandwidth/Throughput testing (NTTTCP).
