Two Gamers, One GPU from your Windows PC! Hyper-V Paravirtualization Build and Tutorial

Published 2021-07-31
So you can't buy a new graphics card right now.... How about sharing the one that's already in your PC, no extra hardware required? With just a Windows 10 Pro license a little know-how, you and a friend could be gaming on the same computer, at the same time.
But first... What am I drinking???
From Ex Novo Brewing, it's the Mass Ascension IPA (6.9%... nice). No beer review, as this one went a little long, but this was a nice change of pace for recent 'THICC' IPAs. Crisp, clean, fresh... a great summer-time beer.

Contribution: For those who could not find the driver folder "nv_...", look at all the folders that start with the letters 'nv', the correct folder is the biggest one, about 1GB (in my case the name was " nvdmi.inf_amd64..." ;)
-
Thank you so much for creating this tutorial, this is going to be so helpful for my used case of having multiple video editors using the same machine remotely. Really appreciate the thoughtful and straightforward guides.
-
Solid walkthrough, explanation, and with downloadable project files. Your attention to detail is much appreciated -Cheers!
-
For the few that bought a 4080... They changed the name of the driver folder (at least for me). It's now nvmdi.inf_amd64 instead of nv_dispi.inf_amd64. Like this so more people see it!

Looks like I'm re-rolling our Parsec server next week lol
-
Thank you so much Jeff! My gf and I play stardew valley together and her laptop is an i3 and 4gbs of ram and she was able to play using my rigs power with zero lag. Worked amazing and brought her a lot of happiness. I set this up on my 5950x and 2070 super rig.
-
man, that was a really well done video, describing exactly what I had in mind, but a much more simple, elegant solution. thanks dude
-
This is really awesome. Thank you so much for sharing. There is lots of GPU applications I would love to be able to run on VM's.
-
Hell yes! Feels like Christmas in August! I just love virtualization content. I don't know why, but I do.
-
Got ahold of a 3070 gonna basically build this so I can share my pc with my brother who sat outside of Best Buy for 10hrs for me to get the GPU. Thank you for allowing me to share the love and the FPS.
-
you are the man for this one! I have been trying to do this for years now!
-
I hate that tech reviewers now have a sense of guilt because parts/devices aren't available. Yall are just doing your jobs. EDIT: And you're not even using a review sample card! Anyway, This is super cool. I'd love to see an AMD version of this too at some point
-
This is a amazing tutorial. I managed to do it in a fx-6300 and 1050 ti adn 16gb ddr3 memory. With the fps limitation some games works fine.
-
possibly the best manscape advert i've seen!
-
This is by far THE best video on how to do this. Worked first time for me, got family members playing off of the same GPU with little to no hit on my side🔥
-
Thankyou! I was having troubleshooting problems following another video, but your guide resolved theml
-
This video is very helpful. I tried it and now my sister can game from her home on my computer. It works perfectly. Thanks!
-
You can also copy the PowerShell script into a new ISE tab without saving it, then you can run it without changing the script execution policies. You can also do a set-executionpolicy unrestricted -scope process That will set the policy for the current process only.
-
Excellent video. I'll be trying this soon.
-
Thanks for this walkthrough, it is excatly what i needed.
