Clarity on the GPU parameters  #3226

Description

@cadop

There is a list of attributes that basically restate what the name of the variable is when explaining it, but there is no info on what the values mean. For example -MaxPartitionDecode takes UInt64.

Using Get-VMGpuPartitionAdapter -VMName am-vgpu-03 the output is:

CurrentPartitionVRAM    : 1000000000
MinPartitionVRAM        : 1000
MaxPartitionVRAM        : 1100
OptimalPartitionVRAM    : 1000
CurrentPartitionEncode  : 1000000000
MinPartitionEncode      : 1000
MaxPartitionEncode      : 1100
OptimalPartitionEncode  : 1000
CurrentPartitionDecode  : 1000000000
MinPartitionDecode      : 1000
MaxPartitionDecode      : 1100
OptimalPartitionDecode  : 1000
CurrentPartitionCompute : 0
MinPartitionCompute     : 1000
MaxPartitionCompute     : 1100
OptimalPartitionCompute : 1000

But with a 24gb GPU, these values don't make sense. So does This is defined by the manufacturer's driver. mean "these values don't matter and will be overwritten by the driver anyway"?

I think it would be helpful to expand on the description, which just mentions that this sets things, but no notes about why the values wouldn't match expected values.

The 'Set-VMGpuPartitionAdapter' cmdlet assigns a partition of a GPU to a virtual machine. Running the command against a virtual machine assigns a full partition. Additional parameters exist to assign more specific options to a VM.
