Okay, scratch that update. NEW UPDATE: Windows released a NEW patch update, not sure what date. But the above update has already been patched up and my application here works again same as it did before. It's still not the best solution, but its the best I could come up with without using multiple GPU's in the system. Not really sure what Microsoft was up to with their updates this month, jeez. HOW TO FIX: If you run into an update this month giving you an issue, uninstall the latest QUALITY update (KB5062553). If its refusing to boot up, just power cycle it 3 times to get into recovery mode. Go under the advanced section, uninstall updates, and uninstall the latest quality update. Reboot, and it should be resolved, you'll get a new patch from July after that, and it should reboot one more time (after the latest patch / update), and you'll be golden again.

Wow. Now if only prices can come down to like, i dunno, Broadwell level, that'd be great so I can afford for my home lab!

Interesting solution. Let's see how that works out for them.

I would love to see this come back to EHW. I can't compete myself in it this year, too much stuff going on over here at the moment.

Latest July 8 Windows update broke this. Not sure why, but this no longer works. EDIT: The updates work perfectly fine on the HOST system, its the VM's that are effected. If you remove and prevent Windows from updating KB5062553 on the VM's, this still works.

One "bug" I'm aware of: File Pathing. I will issue a correction to this in the next few days, but for RIGHT NOW, the software is still using my custom pathing to my VM folders and ISO directories. I'll correct the default directories to actual Hyper-V defaults in the next few days and re-upload. For right now, you can work around it by making note of your Hyper-V Hard Disk folder in Hyper-V's configuration, and pathing to it during the correct prompt during install. This step will still apply if you're using a custom path in the future, my update will only correct this step so default pathing is the default location for my program. I've used this software on 2 very wildly different systems so far and no issues. Would love to hear feedback if it works for other people!

This. Thank you to everyone who did participate! I would have, but heat and a bunch of AMD garbage that's not worth folding on........

Updated OP: Confirmed working in Windows 10 and 11 host environments both (Pro and IoT versions). Parsec on Windows 10 hosts seems to be a known issue though from other people's reporting on the same script style I'm using. I do not know of a solution other than use Windows 11 host if you need Parsec. Otherwise, this program / script / batch file whatever, seems to work exactly as I intended it to do. I will have to update the batch file's default locations on everything to actual Windows Hyper-V default locations so that doesn't get confusing. You can ofc always type in a "custom" location during the install process to match your Hyper-V configuration, but it can get confusing though if you're still using default settings and don't think about it. So long as you're aware of that though (which I will update easily later on in another update), the program works great!

Corrected some issues with the original coding. Appears that no matter what I try to do, Hyper-V or the drivers or something appears to NOT listen to the limits I'm setting in the software. As such, I removed the GPU Partition Percentage options I had before, as they weren't doing anything at all. This program splits your GPU EVENLY among VM's. If there's no GPU load at all, your VM will have 100% of the GPU's capabilities. If 2 VM's are fighting for resources, each gets 50%. And so on. Updated OP with all new finalized information and installer downloads, new screenshots, and readme. This is possibly final "enough" version for me to release. Hope you guys enjoy it! Seems to be working solidly for me and I've tested it on a GTX 760 2GB, GTX 960 4GB, GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1080Ti 11GB, Intel Arc A770 16GB (was stuttery but worked, possibly REBAR issues), AMD RX 6500 XT 4GB and 8GB, RX 580 8GB, RX 7900GRE, RX 7900 XTX, and RX 9070 XT. So far, I have found absolutely no combination of cards or drivers that this program does NOT work in. Only tested in Windows 11. Released.

I'm not sure if I'll be in or not due to heat production.

What's even better is when your OWN damn phone number calls you to spam you. I've had that happen before a few times. Apparently since I've had my number for 2 decades, it's gotten around a little.

Idk but WANT. My 9070XT feels like a decent upgrade over my 7900XTX. However there's one place where it doesn't, and that's when I run out of VRAM (and I have). My 9070XT hits that VRAM wall on my monitor, my 7900XTX will just keep chugging and chugging with its 24GB. Honestly I'm kind of torn which card's better at this point in my system. The 9070XT performs better with modern titles and frame gen stuff / FSR type things. But that VRAM wall does hit hard, I end up with single digit stuttering when I hit it, whereas on my 7900XTX that was never ever a problem. This card fixes that issue and makes Navi 48 and proper upgrade. Will be interesting to see what they price at for sure.

So, according to AI tools, this GPU sharing tool I created MIGHT not work correctly setting an incredibly LOW GPU usage percentage. I was planning on setting up some more VM's on my server box with a low percentage, like 5% GPU usage, so that way they could at least use the GPU for desktop things. So, with that said, I'm going to work on a re-write of the script in the next few weeks. I'd like to see this program at a point where it'll happily allocate any GPU in a VM, with as little as a 5% setting. So we'll see if I get it there. As is: This app has been tested with an Intel Arc A770 on Windows 11, and works correctly with large allocation splits like 40%, 50%, etc. Smaller usage percentages have NOT been tested, nor has any other cards (although the script was written generically with the 16GB Arc A770 installed, it does not call the Intel card specifically).

Hold on a second there, WHAT? That's actually a thing???????? Okay yup, I need to find these cards. I have a Socket 754 system that could probably play PhysX titles great with a GPU setup like that.

Well, I spent about a week+ working on this app, so I DON'T have to spend hours every time. You can actually go in there and edit the script or the text file in the data directory too, so you can change your own "default directories" in the "app" (batch file) so you don't have to type your directory each time. I think my current version has a changed default directory of D:\Hyper-V\ instead. Otherwise I haven't made any changes, and this script + batch file is doing all the heavy lifting on my VM server.

Thank you. I know the store is a tad different than the Etsy store, we're still working on trying to figure out how to get all those original products back too. If I have to move it back over to Etsy later, I will.....this is just the start, so we'd have SOME sort of merch shop again. We're also running promotions all month long in celebration. I believe all orders are 25% off right now!

That's a good point to be honest. AGP cards of decent performance are hard to get ahold of anyway. When you do find one, they're overpriced because of rarity. I don't have the 7800 or the 3850 either, as I already assumed those were out of reach. Planned on stopping AGP with the Radeon 9800XT and the GeForce 6800 myself. That HD3850 AGP card you have is a rare one.

Hello all, Due to the site re-organization and new ownership, we were unfortunately not able to retain the Etsy store that we had going before. We now have a new store through spreadshop, a popular Youtube channel merch shop. The designs are currently in beta, so if you do happen to decide to make a purchase, please LOOK BEFORE YOU BUY. If you happen to see an eyesore of a design on the store, please post it here and let me know so I can fix it. If anybody has any design suggestions also, please let me know! As of the launch we have a few products available for purchase that we are looking to increase as time goes on, so this is not the finished store but we feel this is a good starting point. Right now we plan on adding the following next (Subject to availability) Enhanced Designs To Existing Products Additional Designs To Existing Product Lines Additional Content Creators Additional Products For ease of management we have selected to combine ExtremeHW and the gaming sub culture eXtremeGaming, some of you will undoubtedly be familiar with eXtremeGaming, if not, then here is your chance! All proceeds on the merch store will go towards various prizes, site upkeep, and possibly dedicated prizes to the youtuber team. If you have any questions about the store, please feel free to ask in this topic. Current Design Options: ExtremeHW Logo with Slogan eXtremeGaming Logo piodoesdonuts Youtube Logo JDQ Gaming Youtube Logo Yes, we do still have the original graphics from the first store. No, I cannot confirm if they'll be all be available on the new store or not as of the time of this post. The store is a work in progress, and of course I'd like to have the old products available again too. Link to the ExtremeHW v2 Store (beta currently): https://extremehw.myspreadshop.com/ FAIR WARNING: IF ORDERING CLOTHING, ORDER AT LEAST ONE SIZE LARGER. (I'm normally an XL in sweater and a M in shirts, and a L in shirts and 2XL sweater seems to fit me perfect)

Yes, Damric has your old CPU again. And how did it bottleneck two R9 290's? I had crossfire RX 580's with mine, did a great job. That's how I blew mine up.

Ehhhhhhh..............my GF 4 Ti would like to have a word with your FX 5 series card. That reminds me, I still need an FX 5950 Ultra. The really bad thing, those FX series cards that everybody hated are now more expensive than modern GPU's. Can literally buy a 5060 / 5060Ti for cheaper than a good condition FX 5950 Ultra. -_- Also - why is it more fun to talk about the FX 5000 series cards and the failure that those were, instead of the RTX 5000 series?
