March 30, 20242 yr I've recently started using Unraid, mainly to run Plex but I'm also looking into running some VMs. I'm using the i5 12400 in my system and it's been great, I've passed the igpu through to the Plex container using /dev/dri and using QuickSync to transcode content. For some reason though I'm now getting three seperate cards when I do "cd /dev/dri ls in terminal. If I look in Plex transcoding they're all UHD730. I only really need one lol. I also have an old 1060 just gathering dust and I put it into my system and all it did is it disabled my Plex passthrough and I was never able to use it has a GPU for VMs I'm setting up. Toying with the idea of trying some games on my VMs just for fun and using the Virtual VNC gpu is kinda slow and doesn't work well with Linux VMs What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to passthrough a seperate GPU to use with VMs while using the iGPU in the Plex docker? I'm running my server headless, do I need one of those dummy HDMI plugs ? Thanks

Thanks if you add a dGPU you will have to change the bios to enable the iGPU as normally it likely disable igpu if dgpu is seen

If you have intel_gpu_top installed you can run the list, this will show vendor associated. root@computenode:~# intel_gpu_top -L card1 Intel Alderlake_s (Gen12) pci:vendor=8086,device=4680,card=0 └─renderD129 card0 10de:1fb2 pci:vendor=10DE,device=1FB2,card=0 └─renderD128 card2 1002:743f pci:vendor=1002,device=743F,card=0 └─renderD130 root@computenode:~#

But it doesn't seem to be having any effect on performance so probably doesn't matter.
