I am running a home Server with 2012 R2 with the Hyper-V role installed, with about 5 Windows 8.1 VM's. I'm trying to get RemoteFX working, here's my hardware config:
- E5-4610 Processor (Supports Slat)
- Nvidia GTX 770 (Driver supports WDDM 1.3 with direct X 11)
- Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 (All bios virtual settings enabled)
When I install the Video card driver (tried different versions using windows 8 and windows 8.1 drivers) initially it shows me the checkbox to "Use this GPU with RemoteFX" However after a reboot it says no supported video cards are available.
Before the reboot after installing the driver when it shows the GPU is capable of remote FX, I am not able to add a RemoteFX 3d adapter to a virtual machine because it is greyed out.
After I reboot, if i uninstall and re-install the driver the GTX 770 is available to use again but I still cannot add the RemoteFX adapter to a virtual machine's hardware.
I have done the following:
- Verified in DXdiags that the direct X version is 11
- Verified in DXdiags that the driver model is WDDM 1.3
- Verified the E5-4610 Proc supports Slat or Extended Page Tables
- Enabled all the Virtualiztion VT-x settings in the Bios
- Verified the video card is supported and certified in 2012 R2
- Verified the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Agent is started in Services.msc
- Tried the newest and oldest video drivers for 8.1, and newest for windows 8
- I am using Generation 1 vm's as i heard Generation 2 is having problems with RemoteFX
- Tried Generatino 2 VM's, there is no option to add RemoteFX hardware
- Tried a different GTX 550Ti video card, same issue
- Performed all Windows updates for server 2012 R2
Please advise on the next steps to be taken to get RemoteFX working, or if any of the hardware I mentioned above does not support RemoteFX in 2012 R2.
Thanks.
