Hi, I'm trying this the first time on my VM and stumbled across your posts. On my machine I used the VM template evdev section and the first entry is the keyboard (Grab: all, Repeat: on) and the second one the mouse. Well, in the first round I had the same issue like you and added to the xml this entries to get it to work: <input type='mouse' bus='virtio'> </input> <input type='keyboard' bus='virtio'> </input>

Barely I don't like these flapsy cables in my server so I have to bite the bullet, SATA was not an option and other "fast" interfaces are still not there to use. Respect to @Jlarimore for his nice little server

Hello, the last update was three months ago, so its time to close this thread. I didn't tried the GTX 1070 on the server platform but fixed the I/O input lags passing through the USB controller on my two VM's with the two gpu's AMD R9 and AMD RX56 Vega! Thank you for that great support and tips - I love you guys! @SpaceInvaderOne Today I saw your video about the AMD RX 5700XT and through my experiences I am of the opinion that the motherboard hardware connection is different. I had and have no problems with my RX56 graphics card and the Supermicro motherboard from the first time - install, pass-through, install drivers and have fun. I would have liked to test the RX 5700XT with my setup, but therefore buying, testing and returning a graphics card makes no sense. Maybe we should create an overview that lists different setups and which components produced the best results?

Hello, the GTX 1070 arrived and I tried it on the "server platform" - the same issue. Then I grabbed my "desktop platform": Ryzen 1700 Asus Prime X370 Pro 32GB RAM and it ends up with the same issue . I tried different configurations and found a curious behaviour with VNC (1. GPU) and the 1070 (2. GPU). So i stopped searching for performance issues and started searching for I/O input lags. I stubbed the USB controller, passed it through and voilà!!! I had no success to test with Q35 because I could not find or extract a valid UEFI Rom file for the 1070. That means I couldn't test the "PCI Root Patch". In GPU-Z the gpu was configured with x8 ... - can't remember. The next step will be, trying it on the "server platform" - again. I'll keep you posted!

Yesterday I installed Windows 10 on the NVME and on a baremetal system. Then I stubbed the NVME controller and created a new Windows 10 VM on the unraid server. No improvements and now I guess it's definitely the GPU, maybe due to a wrong PCIe configuration x1 instead of x16 Gen 3. Some member discussed that already and maybe that's it - I don't know! PCIe Root Port Patch Now I bought a Nvidia GTX 1070 because I have no other GPU laying around.

Could be but I'm a AMD-Fanboy I have never bought Intel or Nvidia Well, in this case I would like to buy one of the two graphic cards (small form factor): MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Aero ITX OC 8GB MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Aero ITX OC 8GB I think that these graphics cards (not the same model) will be used by other users and there should be no problems

@bastl Thank you for your help, tips and efforts. Yesterday it was too late to answer your tips or give feedback. I have built a simple setup without docker containers and using only the most necessary hardware, to avoid as many sources of error as possible. No, it's an old configuration from an older experiment and the two SSD hard drives lay around and could be integrated quickly. I also started from scratch, setup the Transcend SSD as array disk and the Samsung SSD as VM disk. 1. SCSI (no improvments) 2. Custom CPU (no improvments) 3. Emulator Pin (no improvments) 4. IO Thread (no improvments) Which I'd like to try: - Remove the SCSI/VirtIO layer and use a NVME instead. - Pass through various devices that may be important. Maybe we'll get some extra points and the system will work the way we want to. If not, we just have to wait for upcoming updates and improvements.

Yes, of course. I thought it would go without but with it it goes much faster 🙂 I will collect all the necessary data and make it available to you. - VM settings (xml, ...) - VM driver outputs (device manager, amd adrenalin overview, ...) - Unraid settings (vfio bind, gouvernor, cpu isolation, system devices, ...) - Bios settings

I've heard of it. I can start the VM, poweroff the VM and restart again without restarting the host. In the AMD driver overview all data are displayed correctly but I haven't looked in the device manager yet. I will provide you some pictures.

Dear Community, I've been using my server for quite some time, but for technical reasons (performance) I didn't use a VM. After several updates (Unraid) I would like to start a new attempt. VM-Specs: - 6 Cores and 6 HTs (one numa node) - 8192 MB-RAM - Q35 - OVMF I have created a Windows 10 VM and made some configurations (numatune, cpu isolation, pcie root patch, ...). I passed the SSD and the graphics card to the VM. Windows updates are all installed and I also installed the latest graphics card driver from AMD (19.4.1). With the VM you can already work well and also the game speed is good or sufficient for me. BUT When I move a window quickly or make fast mouse movements in games, I noticed that there are slight dropouts (like when something has to be reloaded). There are no CPU/GPU peaks or other drastic jumps. In a graphics card performance test I measured almost the same performance (99%) to bare metal. Has this behavior been noticed by some of you or is there a name or thread for it? First of all, I have deliberately avoided further details in order to tackle the problem step by step and collect informations. With concrete ideas I will provide you of course with the necessary informations :-) Thank you very much and I'm glad to hearing from you. T65
