* Most Maxwell based GPUs (9-series) with the following notable exceptions:
** GTX 970 (mixed FB regions)
** Quadro M2000 (mixed FB regions)
** Tesla M40 [https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock/issues/62]

==== Drivers ====
In order to use Mdev with Nvidia GPUs a proprietary enterprise driver is required.

The Nvidia driver supports both SR-IOV and software based mediation and chooses between them based on what the installed GPU supports.

'''Licensing'''

Usage of the proprietary enterprise driver is subject to [https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/buy-grid/ license fees].

== AMD ==
This section will cover Mdev support on AMD GPUs.

==== Hardware ====
Supported GPUs:

* AMD FirePro S7150
* AMD Radeon Pro V520 [https://www.amd.com/en/graphics/workstation-virtual-graphics]

==== Drivers ====
The open source [https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/MxGPU-Virtualization GIM driver] supports the AMD FirePro S7150.
