Edit: Turns out (from other posts) it's because nvidea doesn't play nice unless you have a dedicated graphics card for unraid. AMD works fine. I swapped locations of the HD 6950 and the GTX970 and that makes the 970 work, the question is, has anyone had any luck with the commands from https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=43644.15
I am getting the same errors as are posted but no one posted how they fixed them
echo "0000:02:00.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/unbind
this gives me this message "bash: echo: write error: No such device" unless I have the VM running, in which case the screen goes dark (duh)
cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.0/
echo 1 > rom
cat rom > /boot/vbios.rom
echo 0 > rom
These do nothing, echo 1 > rom doesn't error out but it also doesn't add anything to the rom file (nothing in nano?)
cat rom > /boot/vbios.rom gives me "cat: rom: Input/output error"
Has anyone had success with this? is there another work around?
Thanks!

hey everyone, totally fresh on the unraid train. first build, I have a few video cards, one worked one didn't. Long story short I bought a GTX 960 and a GTX 970 to replace my pc and the wifes pc and it doesn't go anywhere, just a black screen. Before I made the leap and bought I had been running my PC on an AMD Radeon HD 6950. it works perfectly fine on that with the following xml (which I honestly have been trying to figure out what the XML does and have 0 idea).
Here is the build info:
Mobo: GA-990FXA-UD5
Video Cards:
GTX 970
GTX 960
Radeon HD 6950
32Gb Memory
2 Cache drives and 5 hard drives
VM is set to use SeaBios (don't know what the other one does)
1440fx-2.3 (don't know what the others do)
Just looking for what to look at to find out why it will not work with the GTX's. (Also FYI if I attach the GTX to the HD 6950's VM and boot it it crashes over and over showing "nvlddmkm.sys" as the BSOD reason (System_Service_Exception)
