Best VM for gaming

Question

Hi, I am looking for a instance on Azure that is good for gaming(download and play games). But I did try the Standard_NV8as_v4, but that didn't do so good. I couldn't find the drivers for the Gpu. Also I actually wanted the NCasT4_v3 series, but couldn't access it even though I am still under quota.

Please let me know how I can fix either of the issues.
Thanks in advance.

You might need to increase the cores quota (per region) in your Azure subscription, and increase the separate quota for NC, NCv2, NCv3, ND, NDv2, NV, or NVv2 cores. To request a quota increase, open an online customer support request at no charge. Default limits may vary depending on your subscription category.

Deployment considerations

• For availability of N-series VMs, see Products available by region.
• N-series VMs can only be deployed in the Resource Manager deployment model.
• N-series VMs differ in the type of Azure Storage they support for their disks. NC and NV VMs only support VM disks that are backed by Standard Disk Storage (HDD). NCv2, NCv3, ND, NDv2, and NVv2 VMs only support VM disks that are backed by Premium Disk Storage (SSD).
• If you want to deploy more than a few N-series VMs, consider a pay-as-you-go subscription or other purchase options. If you're using an Azure free account, you can use only a limited number of Azure compute cores.

Suggestion
NV-series and NVv3-series sizes are optimized and designed for remote visualization, streaming, gaming, encoding, and VDI scenarios using frameworks such as OpenGL and DirectX. These VMs are backed by the NVIDIA Tesla M60 GPU.

Hello !

NC, ND & NV-series are not available outside the United States. What are the vm with similar characteristics that could be in Central France?
