Hi there,
I need your advice about VM and GPU passthrough
Today I have only one Intel UHD 630 integrated GPU provided by the intel Core i5 9600K. It's my primary card and I use it also for HW acceleration into PLEX
append initrd=/bzroot i915.alpha_support=1
It works like a charm but today I want to do more with my Unraid by creating a dedicated VM for Gaming.
By Gaming VM I mean, I would like to GameStream my games (with moonlight) in order to be able to play them on my Nvidia Shield or other devices
Today I created a VM on vdisk & I passthrough my Intel GPU on it, it works, but the performance are really bad (not smooth at all). And one constraint is when the VM is running, Plex docker lost the HW acceleration (I guess it's normal)
1 - First question, is it normal that GPU performance are really bad? (maybe because I'm sharing the same card for unraid & VM?)
Now I plan to buy a Nvidia GPU card and dedicated it to the VM.
2 - Question, can I expect a lot of performance improvement by dedicating a GPU card to the VM?
3 - Should I think about passthrough other HW to gain perfs? Like a dedicated NIC?
For other VM improvement , I followed recommendation from SpaceinvaderOne.
Unfortunately I didn't succeed to install the VM on my unassigned NVME drive (WD black), I will create a dedicated post later on it.
atm VM is running on vdisk (ssd)
Also if someone have a good experience with VM / Moonlight (Dolphin Streaming) and who can share his best practice, I will be grateful
Thanks in advance for your recommendations
Julien
