Hi Unraiders!
I seem to be hitting brick walls all over the place when it comes to utilising my GPU in Unraid. First up, machine specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core @ 3600 MHz
Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO AX motherboard
EVGA GeForce GTX 1060
LSI 9300-8i 12Gbps SAS HBA + bunch of drives
32GB DDR4 ECC RAM
First I thought I'd create a gaming VM. As a newbie I tried creating a VM with VNC as well as the GPU passthrough via SpaceInvader One's awesome video. Of course I kept getting Error 43, so then looked a bit further and saw that somebody mentioned it would continue to get this unless you install with only the GPU as display adaptor, and only with a display physically connected to the graphics card. Tried that but couldn't get it to boot at all. Black screen, no post.
Things I have tried so far:
Tried different BIOS options.
Tried setting PCIe ACS override to Both in VM settings
Made sure Plex docker was off so I knew the GPU wasn't in use
Made sure NVTop plugin was removed so it wouldn't conflict
Made sure I had CPUs pinned and isolated for the VM
Tried the GPU unlock script that SpaceInvader One recommended here
Nothing seemed to work so I thought I'd throw that idea away and stick with the GPU for Plex/Tdarr transcoding and Folding@home.
Again, I followed SpaceInvader One's guide to setting up F@H but the GPU is showing as disabled. I've attached screenshot 1 and 2 for reference. Checked my settings and they seem OK, but I can't enable the GPU, even via FAHControl.
It feels as if I've got something completely wrong somewhere, but my searching of the forums and watching videos isn't showing me anything new so far. I even tried another GPU, a 1050ti and had the same problems. Ideally I'd rather use the GPU on a VM and maybe get something else for transcoding but maybe something about my hardware or config won't allow that, in which case I'll use it for F@H and contribute to a team.
What am I missing here? Any suggestions?
