Thank you both x100. I will continue testing tomorrow. Understood about screenshots. Thank you.

So I've tried to figure this out but am having little luck. Any help appreciated. Goal Unaid server running 24/7 with a Windows 10 VM w/ GPU passed through, in order to both run a plex server and game on living room TV - over HDMI or Displayport with USB keyboard/mouse vfio passed through. Being able to game remotely from the server at a friends house on another laptop or a Rasperry Pi is the stretch-dream-goal for this noob. I'm upgrading from a Synology 718+, so I've never used a terminal or used more than the Synology app-store to get Plex working. Current Issue When attempting to pass through an MSI RTX 2070 Ventus GP, I cannot reach even the Windows OS install screen when OVMF is selected as the Bios option in the Edit VM screen. Using Seabios, when selecting VNC as my graphics, I can reach the first step of the Windows OS process (black screen, blue logo, spinning blue/white dots), after which I get a Blue Screen of Death. As far as I can tell the RTX 2070 supports UEFI and therefore should support OVMF, which is puzzling. I also saw a thread that said passing through a GPU using Seabios is worse and more difficult than OVMF, so would like to avoid that route on principle if possible. I have downloaded the RTX's Vbios from Tech Power-Up (does it matter if it doesn't have the 'GP' in the name as my RTX does?) and removed the Nvidia header using a Hex Editor as shown by SpaceInvader, and use the edited Vbios when creating the VM. By the way, I may use these acronyms as if I know what they mean but don't really - this is just from looking up Spaceinvader and other Unraid Forum threads. System Screenshot attached. Of note: processor (Ryzen 3700X) does not have an iGPU, mini-ITX Motherboard only has one PCI slot for 1 GPU There is a 500GB NVME drive as an unassigned device that I would like to pass through and install Windows on, but that is for the future. Description I tried creating a VM in 2 ways, using my laptop while accessing the Unraid server using Firefox from another laptop. When testing the below with GPU passed through, I tried both including and excluding the Soundcard as a separate passthrough to the VM. In all the below scenarios, I had my TV on and connected to the GPU to HDMI (also tested Displayport -> HDMI -> TV), and never got an image to appear on the TV. Scenario A: Using OVMF, I would not get the VNC option when clicking on the VM after starting it (both when GPU not passed through OR VNC selected). Using Seabios, I can get the VNC option when clicking the VM after starting it: Scenario B: When GPU is passed through, VNC screen shows: 'Guest has not initialized the display yet' Scenario C; When GPU is not passed through (VNC option selected in Edit screen), VNC screen shows first bit of Windows OS install screen, the Blue Screen of Death Attached are the various IOMMU options given by the system. When setting up my VM I use the 'BOTH' option, as I think it gives me the most possibilities to get the NVME drive, 2 USB Logitech mouse/keyboard slots, and the GPU. Which scenario's logs and can I share to help? I can try to share everything, but maybe there is a specific avenue worth pursuing?
