Enable ATi GPU Accelerated Physics

GPU accelerated physics is available on ATI Radeon™ X2000 series graphics cards. GPU accelerated physics can take advantage of the processing capabilities of more than one ATI Radeon™ graphics card.

Enabling GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) accelerated physics can improve the visual quality of some Direct 3D applications that can take advantage of physics engines. Typically, applications that use extensive geometry can benefit from enabling GPU accelerated physics. Contact your application developer to determine if your application supports GPU accelerated physics. If you have an ATI CrossFire™ configuration, you must disable ATI CrossFire™ on the graphics card that you want to use to perform the physics calculations before you can enable GPU Accelerated Physics on the same card. For more information, see Disable ATI CrossFire™.

From the Graphics Settings tree, expand 3D.
Click More Settings.
From the Graphics Adapter drop-down list, select the graphics card that will perform the physics calculations.
Note: If ATI CrossFire™ is enabled on the graphics card you chose above, the Allow GPU Accelerated Physics option is unavailable.

Select Allow GPU Accelerated Physics to place a check mark in the check box.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for other graphics cards for which you want to enable GPU accelerated physics.
Note: Enabling ATI CrossFire™ for a selected graphics card automatically disables GPU accelerated physics for that same card.

Update to disable and remove the RemoteFX vGPU component in Windows

Update to disable and remove the RemoteFX vGPU component in Windows

Applies to: Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 10 version 1607 all editions, Windows 10 version 1703 all editions, Windows 10 version 1709 all editions, Windows 10 version 1803 all editions, Windows 10 version 1809 all editions, Windows 10 version 1903 all editions, Windows 10 version 1909 all editions, Windows 10 version 2004 all editions

Overview

RemoteFX vGPU makes it possible for multiple virtual machines to share a physical GPU. This feature was first introduced in Windows 7 and was removed as an option for users in Windows Server 2019. The current implementation of RemoteFX vGPU appears susceptible to security vulnerabilities (see the FAQ section for CVE details). Because these newly identified vulnerabilities are architectural in nature, and the feature is already removed from newer versions of Windows, the July 14, 2020 security updates and all superseding Windows Updates will disable and remove the RemoteFX vGPU feature. Starting with the July 14, 2020 security updates, this and all superseding Windows Updates will disable the RemoteFX vGPU feature.\

Although users have the ability to re-enable RemoteFX vGPU until February 2021, we strongly encourage that users seek an alternative vGPU option.

Timeline

Deprecation: RemoteFX vGPU was removed with the release of Windows 10, version 1809 and Windows Server 2019.

Disablement: RemoteFX vGPU will be disabled in all applicable Windows platforms in the July 2020 Windows security updates (July 14, 2020).

Removal: RemoteFX vGPU will be removed from all applicable Windows platforms in the February 2021 Windows security updates (February 9, 2021)

Alternatives

In order to mitigate potential security risks within RemoteFX vGPU, we strongly recommend that users consider using an alternative vGPU technology.

Secure GPU virtualization is available through Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) in Windows Server LTSC releases (Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019) and Windows Server SAC releases (Windows Server, version 1803 and later versions).

How to re-enable RemoteFX vGPU

For Windows 10, version 1803 and earlier versions

To configure RemoteFX vGPU, add the RemoteFX 3D graphics adapter to the virtual machine (VM). For more information, see Configure the RemoteFX vGPU 3D adapter.

To configure the RemoteFX vGPU 3D adapter, use one of the following methods:

Method 1: Configure RemoteFX vGPU with Hyper-V Manager 

To configure the RemoteFX vGPU 3D by using Hyper-V Manager, follow these steps:

Stop the VM if it's currently running.

Open Hyper-V Manager and navigate to VM Settings, and then select Add Hardware.

Select RemoteFX 3D Graphics Adapter, and then select Add.

Method 2: Configure RemoteFX vGPU with PowerShell cmdlets

To configure the RemoteFX vGPU 3D adapter, you must use the following PowerShell cmdlets:

Add-VMRemoteFx3dVideoAdapter

Get-VMRemoteFx3dVideoAdapter

Set-VMRemoteFx3dVideoAdapter

Get-VMRemoteFXPhysicalVideoAdapter

Frequently asked questions

What is the current level of support Microsoft will provide for RemoteFX vGPU?
We will provide technical assistance for users who want to re-enable RemoteFX vGPU until February 2021. We will not continue to ship security or nonsecurity updates for RemoteFX vGPU.

What will happen to my VM with RemoteFX vGPU enabled on July 14, 2020?

If the VM is in a Saved state, you will see the following error message and will be required to remove the RemoteFX adapter to resume:The virtual machine cannot be started because the server has insufficient GPU resources.

If the VM is in a Shutdown state, there is no error message.

If the VM is in a Start state, you will see an error message upon a Restart.

What are the alternatives to RemoteFX vGPU?
Secure GPU virtualization is available through Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) in Windows Server LTSC releases (Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019) and Windows Server SAC releases (Windows Server, version 1803 and later versions). If you are on a Windows version earlier than Windows 10, version 1607, please consider upgrading.

What security vulnerabilities am I susceptible to if I re-enable RemoteFX vGPU?
Please refer to the following CVEs for more information:

CVE-2020-1032

CVE-2020-1036

CVE-2020-1040

CVE-2020-1041

CVE-2020-1043

CVE-2020-1042

Are any other RemoteFX features affected by this disablement?
No. RemoteFX vGPU is the only RemoteFX feature being disabled.
