Install NVIDIA gaming drivers on G5 instance

Question

Hello, I tried to setup me VM for cloud gaming on a G5.xlarge instance, I have followed the instructions on 
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/install-nvidia-driver.html#nvidia-gaming-driver

and on the last step I have to make sure that in the nvidia smi file:

vGPU Software Licensed Product
    Product Name              : NVIDIA Cloud Gaming
    License Status            : Licensed (Expiry: N/A)

But the name is not changed to NVIDIA Cloud Gaming, its still the default one, and I already installed the driver and restarted the VM. Any idea's how to fix it?

Answer

The blog [Building a high-performance Windows workstation on AWS for graphics intensive applications](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/building-a-high-performance-windows-workstation-on-aws-for-graphics-intensive-applications/) may help.

It uses CloudFormation to automate entire setup, and the blog example use a g5.xlarge instance type.

Just tried it and was able to get the output
```
PS C:\Users\Administrator> C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository
vgrid*
vidia-smi.exe -q
    GPU Virtualization Mode
        Virtualization Mode               : Pass-Through
        Host VGPU Mode                    : N/A
    vGPU Software Licensed Product
        Product Name                      : NVIDIA Cloud Gaming
        License Status                    : Licensed (Expiry: N/A)
