NVIDIA Virtual GPUs
Elevate virtualized workloads for the era of AI.
Overview
Unlock Next-Level Performance With Virtual GPUs
NVIDIA® virtual GPU (vGPU™) software powers virtualized workloads—including business operations, intensive graphics, and AI development—with accelerated computing from data centers. Installed on a physical GPU in a cloud or enterprise data center server, NVIDIA vGPU software creates virtual GPUs that can be shared across multiple virtual machines, scaling GPU utilization and enhancing ROI while centralizing manageability and security for enterprise IT.
Benefits
Scalable Acceleration for Every Workload
Bare-Metal Performance
Power compute-intensive apps with virtual GPU acceleration, an experience indistinguishable from bare-metal environments.
GPU Sharing and Scaling
Divide GPU resources and share them across multiple virtual machines (VMs), or allocate multiple GPUs to a single VM to power the most demanding workloads.
Improved User Density and TCO
Offload CPU usage to enhance user experiences on modern applications and improve user density—cost-effectively meeting the needs of dynamic workloads.
Enterprise-Grade Software
Optimize your ROI and deliver enhanced enterprise features, security, and support through consistent software releases.

vGPU Technology
Take a Peek Under the Hood
In an NVIDIA vGPU-powered virtualized environment, the vGPU software is installed at the virtualization layer with the hypervisor. The software creates virtual GPUs that enable a single physical GPU to be shared among multiple VMs or a single VM to harness the power of multiple physical GPUs.
vGPU software includes a graphics or enterprise driver for every VM. Since work that was typically done by the CPU is offloaded to the GPU, the user has a much better experience. This enables support for demanding engineering and creative applications, as well as compute-intensive workloads like AI and data science, in a virtualized and cloud environment.
