RESOLVED Passing through an Nvidia gtx 750ti

[bilbo6209]

Hey guys,

 

I worked with Jonp on this previously (I believe it was on one of the Beta versions of 6) and we had it working, but I had an issue and the VM got axed and I am starting over again.

 

I created a Win7 image, set the video to Nvidia device and the device boots correctly, I am remote currently and I am using TeamViewer to view the VM, and when I connect to the VM all I see is the start button. As I move my mouse around the screen I can get it to paint the screen a bit but not really...

 

nothing has changed in my hardware setup or configuration files since Jonp and I got this working previously. I am reading other posts with similar issues with Nvidia cards, I am really hoping this isn't the issue!! I am basically trying to set up the VM as a Steam Streaming device because I am going in for neck/spine surgery in a couple weeks and will be laid up for 2 weeks to a month after surgery and want to be able to play my Steam games on an older laptop

 

I will try to find my previous posts to see what I can find to add to this. I don't mess with my Unraid much, it is set up as my network storage and it just works so I don't think too much about it If you want config files etc please be gentle and give me directions how to access them

 

Bill

 

 

IGNORE: This was a teamviewer issue!!! I set the graphics card back to VNC, set up RDC access and the PC is working 100% as expected over RDC!

I did a look and apparently I was wrong, I was working with Jon to get a 2nd NIC to pass through correctly, I know I tried multiple NICs and did everythign I coulf think and I dont believe we could get it to work, but I had the GPU passing through correctly at that time.

 

here is the current XML for the VM

I have tried both types of "machines" and various versions of both machines.

I have also set up the CPU cores so that only this VM is using 4 of the cores.
