piotrasd Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Asrock Z77 Extreme 11 with Xenon 1220Lv2 (both support Vt-D and VT-X, also in bios i saw that information, eveything is supported) Some time ago with success i run GT730 with Openelec VM plugin but with GTX970 for windows i have problem - anyone could help ? @jonp maybe you could me something advice ?? ================================================== UPDATE ! ================================================== I finly get working !!! i suppose my problem was aditional GPU Becuase my CPU dont have inside any, (xenon 1220lv2 is without) when i add second GPU i filny get working GTX970 with windows !!!! SO i have question there is any chance get working with only 1 GPU ? i saw without 2nd GPU - my GPU was in IMMOU group with other devices, now when i add second is alone in separate group. 2 question - if i change CPU on model with GPU - could this resolve my problem ? i use only one on PCIE ? btw. what is the latest version of working driver nvidia under KVM for windows x64 ??

saarg Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 btw. what is the latest version of working driver nvidia under KVM for windows x64 ?? The latest should work as long as you disable HyperV. Quote Link to comment
piotrasd Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 i have now problem with FPS i get something arround 20fps in game Heroes and Generals where without KVM - i get 120fps .... any idea how this fix ? Quote Link to comment

Whoa. Never seen a frame rate issue like that. Sure you're doing a true apples to apples test? Share the XML for your VM please. Quote Link to comment
piotrasd Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Whoa. Never seen a frame rate issue like that. Sure you're doing a true apples to apples test? Share the XML for your VM please. im used this same windows and nvidia driver version on setup without KVM, and this same rest of hardware Im also tested with MSI turned OFF/ON - but nothing change with framerate - just fix audio Also i was try to switch between q35 and i440 (that why in xml now i440) - but this change also nothing change (just keyboard works before windows is loaded in q35 start working only in windows) im dont know why is so big diffrence Im tried to switch to OVMF but when i created VMs from webui after start i get error about to many IDE controler on 1 bus (i map Virtio driver iso and iso with windows installation) <!-- WARNING: THIS IS AN AUTO-GENERATED FILE.

Switch to OVMF switch to windows 8.1 ?? 8.1 will be your best bet. I think OVMF wouldn't be bad either. I don't believe Win7 supported OVMF. Quote Link to comment
piotrasd Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi @jonp I try switch to Win8.1 and Win10 RTM But i can't run install with OVMF - just freez after start - on logo Windows from UEFI i executed from fs0:> \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI do i must do it something else ?? format vdisk manual ? i dont know why both windows 8.1/10 just freez after start installator (i tried make bootable USB from ISO, with MBR and GPT part, also with FAT32, and NTFS, and boot from ISO, and on all combination installation just freez) When i switch to seaBios everything working fine - but on both win8.1/10 still i get arround 20-30fps in games Quote Link to comment

natecook Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Here's my current setup (testing UnRAID to see if the Win 8.1/10 VM works well enough to warrant license): CPU: i7-4930K (no integrated graphics, like OP) Mobo: Asus Rampage IV Gene (X79, and will be replaced with a full ATX if this works) RAM: 4x4GB 2133MHz GPU: 2x EVGA GTX 970, and an AMD R5 220 for testing (all UEFI compatible) I get a similar issue to the OP. I get a black screen when starting the VM under some specific conditions. I've tried all five steps under "Help! I can start my VM with a GPU assigned by all I get is a black screen on my monitor!" No matter what cards are plugged in and in what slot, my BIOS and the UnRAID console display via the outputs of the topmost card (i.e., if there are cards in the second and third slots, it will display via the card in the second. I can successfully pass through any GPU that isn't that card. If I include card displaying BIOS/console in the passthrough, I get a black screen when starting the VM. When I put a 970 in the top, and only pass through the other 970 or the 5450, it works. When I pass through a 970 in the bottom slot and have any other card in the top of middle slot, the VM works. TL;DR- Seems like my system won't relinquish the host GPU to the VM. Don't know if this is expected behavior, a missing setting, or a motherboard issue. Thought it was relevant to post here due to similar GPU and similar issue to OP. Quote Link to comment
natecook Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I feel like something getting missed is that your X99 motherboard has no integrated graphics support. If possible, do what I did on X79 and stick a cheapo GPU in the first PCIe slot, then put your GTX 970 in a lower slot. Works flawlessly for me. Quote Link to comment
wahwah80 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Similar issues here. GPU passthrough doesn't seem to work and i get a blank screen (no signal). unRAID runs on IGFX. Asus Z170-A i7-6700K EVGA GTX970 SSC EFI up to date for GPU and MoBo. Tried top and middle PCIe16X slots with same result. Also tried mutliple guest OS for the VM and none works with the GPU passthrough (VNC does work) Will get a GTX1070 and see if I have more luck there. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

absinthePhD Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I'm having the same issue.. Asrock z170 gaming i7 i7-6700K Gigabyte GTX 1070 Xtreme Gaming Updated mobo bios, Windows 10 via VNC To update driver for GPU, I set onboard graphics as primary and GTX1070 as secondary. No output from GPU onto monitor via HDMI (it would display mobo bios, etc. just no dice with passing through VM). Accessed VM via VNC, installed updated GPU driver from Gigabyte. Still nothing. Looked under device management. Gives error "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. Code 43." Tried updating further but says I have the latest driver. Stuck here. Any advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
dadarara Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 absinthePhD eventually, did you succeed to passthrough the 1070? how ? what are the main configuration points and steps thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
absinthePhD Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 absinthePhD eventually, did you succeed to passthrough the 1070? how ? what are the main configuration points and steps thanks in advance I did not. I returned the card, which did not appear to work with my setup. I moved on to a stand alone PC. Sorry that I can't be of more help. I did weeks of troubleshooting without success.
