AMD software and drivers are designed to work best for up-to-date operating systems. Please be sure to update your operating system before installing drivers. Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is included for the best gameplay on day-1.
To take advantage of the GPU capabilities of the new Azure NVv4 series VMs running Windows, AMD GPU drivers must be installed. The AMD GPU Driver Extension installs AMD GPU drivers on a NVv4-series VM. Install or manage the extension using the Azure portal or tools such as Azure PowerShell or Azure Resource Manager templates. See the AMD GPU Driver Extension documentation for supported operating systems and deployment steps.
If you choose to install AMD GPU drivers manually, this article provides supported operating systems, drivers, and installation and verification steps.
Only GPU drivers published by Microsoft are supported on NVv4 VMs. Please DO NOT install GPU drivers from any other source.
For basic specs, storage capacities, and disk details, see GPU Windows VM sizes.
