[VIDEO GUIDE***How to pass through an NVIDIA GPU as primary or only gpu in unRAID]

Is there a way to make sure the VM is using my GPU for Plex h/w transcoding and not my Xeon? Because the whole reason for this gpu was to offload some of the media workload to from my CPUs. Plex doesn't show which device is doing the transcoding.

[Dynamix - V6 Plugins]

The drivers for my motherboard do not show any of my fans.

 

Also, I can only choose one cpu in system temp plugin. I have 2 cpus in my server and would like temps on both.

 

Anyway to resolve both of these issues? I wanted to use these plugins specifically for fan info and control.

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte ga-7pesh2

@naik You only can run 1 VM at the time using the GPU. You can configure multiple VMs using the GPU no problem, put you can't run them at the same time. 

Got it thank you. Looks like I'll need another GPU :X

[VIDEO GUIDE***How to pass through an NVIDIA GPU as primary or only gpu in unRAID]

Hi guys, before I try this out I wanted to ask if doing this would still allow me to use the graphics card for all VM instances that I pass through the gpu on. And would Plex on Ubuntu still do hardware transcoding with the graphics card when I do this mod?

I have been there too! If it doesn't show you in Clover the option to boot OSX, it means the img you have is not valid somehow and you will need to get a new img!

Yup, that was the case for me. 

 

My next hurdle is that I cannot get my resolution to change from 1024x768 after doing a GPU passthrough. I'm stuck at that resolution even though my config.plist file for clover shows 1920x1080. 

 

I am suspecting its because my mobo BIOS has onboard graphics. Even though it's set to onboard in BIOS, its still stuck at that low resolution in Mojave Display settings and in VNC/unraid.

I cannot get Clover to recognize my install media, I've tried like 8 dmg that I changed to img. Any ideas?

I have the same issue. Converted Mojave dmg to img using dmg2img and can get through all the steps in SpaceIndavers video but do not see a OS X boot option after changing resolution and force stopping/starting. Made sure to use qcow and not raw and changed virtio network to apple compatibility one.
