Not able to use GPU on Google Cloud Compute Engine

I used Google Cloud Compute Engine and made an Instance with 8vCPUs and 30GB memory and Nvidia V100 GPU, using a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter Desktop experience

I checked the display device box as well But When I boot up the system and go to task manager, I don't see the GPU and I can see that the Nvidia GPU V100 exists in the Device Manager but for some reason, it's not doing anything.

I tried installing the Drivers, nothing works, when I try to open the Nvidia Control Panel, I get the error saying "Nvidia Display Settings are not available" "You are not currently using a display attached to an Nvidia GPU". when I right click on desktop and go to the display settings, the options are not available.

I tried uninstalling the GPU and reinstalling it on device manager, but it still doesn't work, I tried reinstalling Nvidia software, but it still doesn't work.

To test the device, I tried playing Apex Legends and It's clear that the GPU is not doing anything because it was taking a few seconds to load EACH FRAME, I don't know what else to do.

All I want is to be able to use the GPU, Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

The issue with GPU's on VM's is that your monitor is not actually connected to the GPU, which would normally occur on a standard machine at home.

The trick is that you need to Build the nbody solution using Visual Studio, after installing CUDA.

This Google GPU guide provides a rough, first step guide on the driver to download... https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gpus/install-drivers-gpu#windows-driver-steps

Then, build the solution... https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-quick-start-guide/index.html

This is not a bad walkthrough for CUDA install and build, https://medium.com/@nicerova/cuda-on-windows-the-definitive-guide-b4130b9fc419
