IddSampleDriver VS rdpwrap

Get a dummy plug and mirror your monitor to it, or use this https://github.com/ge9/IddSampleDriver essentially the same thing but on a software level.

Indirect Display Driver

This is the way to go. In addition, you can setup a virtual display (I'm using [this](https://github.com/ge9/IddSampleDriver)) so you don't even need a monitor plugged in.

Honestly I'd reccomend moonlight with sunshine - although I can't say I've tested more than nvenc myself - it supports multiple encoders beyond nvec, and has a lot more performance tuning options ideal for a high bandwidth connection like a virtual bridge (which parsec is a bit less optimized for, and looks a bit blockier). It also doesn't need an online authentication, but still needs a dummy plug or this black magic

What is your host system? Since ESXI recognizes it and you could enable pass through without issue I’m thinking it is not BIOS related. I previously had issues with a different GPU on ESXI and it was immediately apparent something was wrong when you went to enable pass through (the checkboxes in the panel would go crazy, turned out to be a GPU map issue in ESXI). As for the display, it shouldn’t be necessary considering in its default state the M40 is intended for compute / CUDA tasks. Eventually you will need a display obviously, but out of the box if you’re just trying to confirm the GPU has loaded without issue a display is not necessary. For the display driver, I’m using IddSampleDriver, which works well (no HDR support, fyi)

this theoretically should work too, tho I haven't yet gotten around to trying

Try this if you want to enable the remote desktop server on the home edition: https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap

You didn’t mention which OS your parents run, but if it’s Windows then you can use RDP (Remote Desktop Host). The normal RDP program that comes pre-installed on a non-server version of windows doesn’t allow concurrent users (I.e. if you were to open an RDP session while one of your parents was using the computer, it would log them off in order to log you in). However, someone created a workaround on GitHub…I installed it and it works great! Only issue is you have to remember to sign out EVERYtime otherwise it tends to just create new log in sessions for each user.

i use home win11 with https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases it work great

The same post also mentions another open source software that supposedly do the same thing without patching the system. But it looks unmaintained 2018 and the readme mentions that it could not work with newer Windows 10 versions. Also this is definitely violating the EULA as well.

There's https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap with which you can enable remote desktop on a Home edition of Windows.

The Aster software is really interesing! I am kinda looking for a simultanous workstation use. I used to use [this](https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap) hack that allows simultaneus RDP sessions. Not ideal for gaming but for work stuff is good. Might try this out when I build a workstation for work so my team can remote connect and work on their own windows accounts on the workstation, at the same time. But RDP sucks, Sunshine would outperform this. But its better because i dont need to have multiple Sunshine instances running per account (i think thats what would be needed for seperated simultaneous users).

Install rdpwrap, it makes rdp work on home edititions.

You could also just use RDP, you'll probably need this wrapper: https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap
