Hi all,
Sorry for yet another pass through but I've exhausted my Google-fu to no avail.
Hardware:
2 x E5-2670 v2
Gigabyte GA-7PESH2
16 x 8GB (128GB total) DDR3 ECC memory
Zotac Blower GTX 1080 Ti
Common steps:
* Downloaded Zotac vBios from TechPowerup, used hex editor to remove the header from the vBios.
What I've tried:
*** SeaBios w/i440fx-3.1
-- I get display from the 1080 Ti when using the Microsoft generic driver. As soon as Microsoft or I install nVidia drivers and reboot, screen is black and stays black. When I reboot the VM, I can see the windows splash screen with the spinning circle of dots, then when it goes into the login/desktop, screen is black and eventually goes to "no signal" on my monitor.
** OVMF w/q35-3.1
-- No display from 1080 Ti, even with Microsoft generic driver.
** OVMF w/i440fx-3.1
-- No display from 1080 Ti, even with Microsoft generic driver.
Commonalities between three setups:
* All three VMs are RDP-able and I can verify that there are no issues with the 1080 Ti (if I use non-patched vBios, I get error code 43).
* I'm using HDMI to connect to the monitor. Given that video works with the SeaBios/i440fx-3.1 setup, I don't think it's a port issue.
Has anyone run into this/been able to resolve something like this? I appreciate any and all insights. Thanks!
EDIT (Solution): For me, changing from HDMI to displayport on the GPU solved the issue. Not sure if IOMMU grouping of GPU and HDMI audio together means that HDMI port can't be used on GPU but VM is happily outputting to my monitor now.
