## Introduction
This section covers the essential information to deploy a node with a GPU. We also provide links to other parts of the manual covering GPU support.
To use a GPU on the TFGrid, users need to rent a dedicated node. Once they have rented a dedicated node equipped with a GPU, users can deploy workloads on their dedicated GPU node.
* A new window will appear below named **GPU'S VENDOR NAME**
* Write the name of the vendor desired (e.g. **nvidia**, **amd**)

* Filter nodes using the device name
* In **Filters**, select **GPU's device name**
* A new window will appear below named **GPU'S DEVICE NAME**
* Write the name of the device desired (e.g. **GT218**)

### Reserve a Node
When you have decided which node to reserve, click on **Reserve** under the column **Actions**. Once you've rented a dedicated node that has a GPU, you can deploy GPU workloads.
Now that you've reserverd a dedicated GPU node, it's time to deploy a VM to make use of the GPU! There are many ways to proceed. You can use the [Dashboard](fullvm.md), [Go](developers@@grid3_go_gpu), [Terraform](terraform_gpu_support.md), etc.
- To verify that the GPU is properly installed, use the following command lines:
```bash
rocm-smi
rocminfo
```
- You should something like this:


### Nvidia Driver
For Nvidia, you can follow [those steps](https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-20-04/#installing-the-nvidia-drivers-using-the-command-line).
- To verify that the GPU is properly installed, you can use `nvidia-smi`. You should something like this:

### With an AI Model
You can also try this [AI model](https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI#getting-started-with-invokeai) to install your driver.
## Troubleshooting
Here are some useful links to troubleshoot your GPU installation.
