December 6, 201510 yr So I have spent what seems like a small fortune on hardware and an UNRAID Pro license and I am now at the point of creating a Windows 10 VM with GPU Passthrough. I want to have my Win 10 VM to show up on my monitor through my nVidia Video card. That takes GPU Passthrough right? Does passthrough require IOMMU? Right now my IOMMU is 'Disabled' and I have a I7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz which I believe doesn't support IUMMU. Does this mean I am screwed and can't have my VM working on my monitor?

Maybe your chipset has it disabled. I would check your bios to be sure.

I tried but couldn't find it, googled around and couldn't find it...I am using the MSI Z87-G45 so if anyone knows where it is hiding please let me know!

March 3, 201610 yr Hi. A new user here. I have managed to set up quite a few things so far and all seems better than first expected. I have a significant question that my reading has not provided an answer to. My system info says that I have HVM and IOMMU enabled (See Below). Based on the hardware in the system, would I be able to passthrough a GPU for Openelec in a vm with passthrough?

March 3, 201610 yr Great to know - Thanks for the rapid reply! I have a MSI geforce 210 kicking about - not much coming up via search to say whether that is likely to passthrough. Any experience? If not, can you recommend a cheap as chips low profile alternative? Cheers,

Driver install in Windows would cause it to lock up, can't remember if whole server or just VM, but seemed fine afterwards. OE required the legacy drivers, and at the time they weren't included in the LT image (may still not be). Anyhow, I had enough issues to replace it, hopefully yours will act differently (it can be different by brand). As far as alternative, I'd recommend the GT720, it serves me extremely well.
