To take advantage of the GPU capabilities of Azure N-series VMs in Windows Virtual Desktop, you must install NVIDIA graphics drivers. Follow the instructions at [Install NVIDIA GPU drivers on N-series VMs running Windows](/azure/virtual-machines/windows/n-series-driver-setup) to install drivers, either manually or using the [NVIDIA GPU Driver Extension](/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/hpccompute-gpu-windows).
