HOW to apply Nvidia4070 on Hyper-V virtual machine (WINDOWS11)

Question

Hi there. Like everyone here, I am a Windows11 user. I have learned and tried Hyper-V and successfully installed windows 11 virtual machine on my PC. I am so excited. However, it is hard for me to find a feasible way to apply the function of physical video card Nvidia 4070 under the application of virtual machine. Indeed, I want to test some MMORPG on the VM so that I have the demand to apply the 4070 card. Hopefully, there would be a great answer here. Thanks with best regards.

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Regarding the operation guide and instructions for using graphics cards in Hyper-V Windows virtual machines, Microsoft currently only supports discrete device assignment (DDA).

Discrete device assignment (DDA): Starting with Windows Server 2016, you can use discrete device assignment (DDA) to pass entire PCIe devices to the VM. This will allow devices such as NVMe storage or graphics cards to be accessed in a high-performance manner from within the VM while being able to take advantage of the device's native drivers. DDA supports one graphics card for one virtual machine. I recommend you refer to the following link:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/deploy/deploying-storage-devices-using-dda

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best regards
