title: How to install NVIDIA graphics driver on Azure VM
body: <p>How do I install a graphics driver on a virtual machine? I want to create a VM for gaming purposes and I cannot seem to get a graphics driver installed. I followed these guides:</p>

  <p>which all works fine until the download/setup of the graphics driver. Once the NVIDIA installation box pops up he says the machine is not suitable. I tried many different sizes of VM (NV6-8 series) to see if it was in system settings but nothing seems to work. Can someone provide help/insights? I just started my programming/Azure VM journey so assume I am a noob.</p>
