So it would be ok as long as the nic is Intel and pcie?

have u got any nic suggestions? (something cost about $30?)

I have no idea why this happens, hope the new nic would solve this problem. And also, I was looking for pcie nic earlier, some of them says server nic, and the others without the word 'server', should I get the one with 'server' or not?

No luck, I have still got that error, I might just get another nic in the next few days to try.

Hmm...... haven't tried this, I am trying this, hope it works.

none at all, as I know problems could happen with them.

League of Legend and some basic stuffs, thats all

Which software did you install on the VM? Windows 10 on both of them.

The reason that I want to passthrough is that I get the "one or more network protocols are missing" error, and just want to see if passthrough would solve this problem.

How about setting one of them to the vms and the other one to the unraid server, because I got the "one or more network protocols are missing" error on either one of the vms when I only use eth0. If I assign eth1 to vm1, the error appears on vm2, vice versa. The syslinux bit essentially removes the NICs from Unraid to be used solely by VMs... I'm quite confused now. I thought you had two different NICs and you wanted to passthrough one to one VM and the other to another VM.... I think if you posted a bit more info on your config it might help clear things up and exact details of your hardware.. Sorry for the confusion, my motherboard is ASUS Z97 Sabertooth Mark S (which have two lan ports, does this count as two nics or one? one of them is realtek and the other one is intel) Could I assign the realtek one to vm1, and intel one to vm2? Or do I need another one for the unraid server itself?

How about setting one of them to the vms and the other one to the unraid server, because I got the "one or more network protocols are missing" error on either one of the vms when I only use eth0. If I assign eth1 to vm1, the error appears on vm2, vice versa.

is it possible to set 2 different nics to 2 vms, if yes, how should I change the syslinux.cfg file?
