GPU optimized VM sizes are specialized virtual machines available with single or multiple NVIDIA GPUs. These sizes are designed for compute-intensive, graphics-intensive, and visualization workloads. This article provides information about the number and type of GPUs, vCPUs, data disks, and NICs. Storage throughput and network bandwidth are also included for each size in this grouping.

-[NC-series](nc-series.md), [NCv2-series](ncv2-series.md), [NCv3-series](ncv3-series.md) sizes are optimized for compute-intensive and network-intensive applications and algorithms. Some examples are CUDA and OpenCL-based applications and simulations, AI, and Deep Learning. The NCv3-series is focused on high-performance computing workloads featuring NVIDIA’s Tesla V100 GPU. The NC-series uses the Intel Xeon E5-2690 v3 2.60GHz v3 (Haswell) processor, and the NCv2-series and NCv3-series VMs use the Intel Xeon E5-2690 v4 (Broadwell) processor.

The [NVIDIA GPU Driver Extension](/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/hpccompute-gpu-windows) installs appropriate NVIDIA CUDA or GRID drivers on an N-series VM. Install or manage the extension using the Azure portal or tools such as Azure PowerShell or Azure Resource Manager templates. See the [NVIDIA GPU Driver Extension documentation](/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/hpccompute-gpu-windows) for supported operating systems and deployment steps. For general information about VM extensions, see [Azure virtual machine extensions and features](/azure/virtual-machines/extensions/overview).
