Why do I need a vBios dump to make my NVIDIA card on UnRaid?


Recommended Posts

Hi all. First of all, I am just getting started with UnRaid and so far I am pleasantly surprised and really liking it.

 

Having said this, I can't understand why I need a vBios dump to make my GTX 1080 Ti work with UnRaid, when with Proxmox it worked just fine without it.

 

I put off using the vBios because I though that was just outdated info, and, having failed for a long time to get the GPU passthrough working, I finally understood it only works with the vBios.

Why is this? Any technical explanation since both UnRaid and proxmox use KVM for the hypervisor?
