Hi, I intend to give unraid a try mostly for the virtualization feature, the NAS being a bonus.
But before doing this, I want to ask the community whether I can achieve the following:

- I have a new z690 MSI mtb + Intel core i7 12700K to be used by the host + a Radeon RX580 GPU

- I plan to run the unraid host server headless and to create 2 VMs:

      1. A VM (for Linux or iOS Monterey) with the Radeon GPU passthrough

      2. A VM for Windows 11 with the iGPU passthrough

How difficult it is to do this (if possible at all)?

Has this been done before?

Thanks lot to all the experts who know what I’m talking about

@titust1I have a i5-12600K and at present I have not been successfully able to passthru iGPU and get an output. Alderlake hardware is relatively new!

 

There is meant to be more support for Alderlake in the 5.16 kernel but no timeline I know of for this to be introduced.

 

Current MSI Bios 

Version

7D25vA22(Beta version)

 

I am currently running an internal release of 6.10rc3(5.15.16) and can confirm the 2.5G Nic now works, Doesn't under rc2(5.14.15).

Thanks,

Do you know if the latest kernel is capable to fully use the power of the 12th gen Intel CPU Cores? In other words, if it's to use all the P-Cores and E-Cores at their maximum ring core frequency? Or the Alder Lake P-cores will be running crippled at 3.6 GHz, or E-Cores have to be disabled in order for the P-Cores to run at their maximum core speed, etc.

Hi @titust1

 

This is running an internal rc3 release, I can look to do the same on 6.10rc2 if you would like to see the results.

 

Kernel is now 5.15.24.

 

This was pinning all the pores to a Win10 vm and running cpu-z stress test.

 

 

If I add the e-cores it does impact the p-cores

 

 

This is idle.

is. there still no way to passthrough gpu?

 

I couldn't get to work passthrough for my 12900k gpu

Did you ever get the GPU passthrough to work? I'm having issues with my i5-12600K and Aorus Z690 Elite AX
