Hello,
I plan to buy z Ryzen7 2700 CPU and some B450-based mATX mainboard. I woud like to passthrough GPU to Windows 10 running in VM, thus I will need to buy 2 graphics cards.
Actually I am thinking of the following configuration:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus M
CPU: Ryzen7 2700
GPU1: GeForce GT 710
GPU2: GeForce 1660Ti
I read about problems with IOMMU groups, but I found information in manual that this mainboard allows to choose which GPU to use as primary card. I am not sure if this is going to work, but according to motherboard's manual, it should be possible to use GT710 in bottom PCI-E slot in Linux and to pass GTX1660Ti from top PCI-E slot to VM. This seems to be best scenario, because:
* first of all, top PCI-E slot seems to come from CPU PCI-E lanes and seems to be in separate IOMMU group. It is also full 16x slot.
* the bottom PCI-E slot is slower and share IOMMU group I think. At least users reports that in other B450 based motherboards. There would be no need to use ACS if this card could be used as primary card.
Can any owner of B450 based mainboard post IOMMU groups here including mainboard model and BIOS version?
Maybe someone own the B450 Aorus mainboard from Gigabyte? From what I checked, all models (not only M) should be capable of useing bottom GPU as primary card. Can anyone confirm this is really working?
Thanks in advance!
Regards!
