Hey all, first time poster after almost 1 year of fumbling my way through things with the help of great forums such as this and, of course, the tutorials from SpaceInvader One.
I have just setup the Nvidia Drivers plugin and am now successfully hardware transcoding in Plex using the primary (1st slot) GPU (Geforce 1060 6gb).
My gaming VM uses a secondary (3rd slot) GPU (Geforce 1660 Ti) and runs perfectly fine with the VM.
My question is related to my VM GPU (secondary GPU). Even when the VM isn't running, all 3 fans are spinning - seemingly at 100%. Even after starting & stopping the VM, the fans still spin.
- The secondary GPU does not appear in the Nvidia Drivers plugin.
- The secondary GPU does not appear in 'nvidia-smi'. Only the primary GPU is shown.
- I have seen that 'nvidia-smi -pm 1' helps some users but as the secondary GPU isn't in 'nvidia-smi', there is no instruction being sent to the secondary GPU.
The passed through GPU in question from System Devices:
What is shown in Nvidia Drivers plugin (the primary/transcoding GPU only is shown):
With the current Nvidia Drivers plugin, is any passed through GPU not able to be 'seen' by the plugin or the OS at all?
How am I able to:
1. See that GPU when not being used by the VM?
2. Stop the GPU fans from spinning when the VM is not in use?
Any help is much appreciated!!
Cheers
