Running Windows on a g6e instance

If using public driver from NVIDIA website, 560.94 works for me ( screenshot below)

Note that public Tesla driver from NVIDIA web site works in headless TCC mode, and cannot be used by Windows for graphics display output. In above nvidia-smi output, mode is TCC and process list is empty indicating GPU is not used by Windows desktop.

For Windows to use NVIDIA for display, you need to installing NVIDIA GRID driver on Windows Server 2022.

You can follow the guide at NVIDIA drivers for your Amazon EC2 instance, or blog Building a high-performance Windows workstation on AWS for graphics intensive applications which uses CloudFormation template to automate install.

Below is screenshot of NVIDIA GRID on g6e.xlarge which is created using CloudFormation. Note WDDM mode and explorer.exe in nvidia-smi process list
