The reason I ask, is I finally after tried GPU passthrough on a WIN11 VM using a old GT710 I had laying around. Did a VBIOS dump, removed the headers passed it through, no code 43 error, latest drivers installed.

 

All good I thought BUT I could swear the VM was better if not the exactly the same! Appreciate its an older card and I use a GTX1650 low profile for Plex but was expecting it to better. Youtube streams on my VM still judder and Core usage on unraid dashboard seems to go up a lot more.

 

This was just a pre-test to make sure everything works but now I am thinking do I need to even bother. Baring in mind I dont game, use a bit of photoshop now and then and have managed for years with just using Virtual GFX.

 

CPU is dual xeon X5690 with no igpu

Switched back to Virtual due seeing all cores assigned to VM hitting 100% for some reason. 

Maybe a bit Late here.

You need to disable the VNC for your VM. Than hook your display up to the choosen Grafikscard and enable remote Desktop after downloading all Drivers.

Its a thing only with the Nvidia cards
