Error 43 when using GPU Passthrough for a GTX650ti using Unraid 6.12.3

Let me just start with I am sorry to join the other 1000 posts about GPU passthrough, but it seems as though any fix I try will not cooperate.

So, I have a server that runs as a media server (plex, sonarr, radarr etc.) which uses a GTX1660 Super for transcoding, all works as intended. My house mate handed me his old GTX650ti so I thought I would have a crack at GPU passthrough for remote gaming (retro games, nothing too serious). So I have been searching and following guides for about a month now trying to get it to work, I am currently at the point where my VM will see the GPU, but refuse to use it (the infamous error 43). 

I have been following the guide below to try and get my remote gaming machine working:

I have watched and configured my GPU passthrough as shown in all of spaceinvader ones videos.

What I can remember I have tried so far:

- IOMMU is enabled in BIOS

- ensured no issues with old gpu (tested on another pc)

- vbios dump edited with hex editor and configured for VM

- enabled and disabled hyper-v

- edited the xml, here's the entire file as it stands (I have chopped and changed the xml A LOT, so any fixes are very much appreciated):

If anyone is able to get my passthrough working, I would finally be able to get a good nights sleep, hugely appreciate the time and effort.
