Another passthrough question but, in this case, I bought another NVidia graphics card since I got tired of reading all the threads about how to use just the one card with my non-GPU processor. My UnRAID server uses a Z97 Extreme 6 MB and a Xeon E3-1231 v3 @ 3.4GHz. So, I had an NVidia GT 610 graphics card in my PCIe slot 2 that I ran with my UnRAID. I then bought another NVidia GT 710 that I put into PCIe slot 4. However, both cards seem to show up as Basic Display Adapter in the W10 VM. I added the second graphics card in the VM setup (VNC and the NVidia GT 710). Is there something I need to do with the XML?

This is awesome...I get to reply to my own question. Just as soon as I posted, my NVidia GT 610 now shows up in my W10 VM. It seems I selected the GT 610 as my second graphics card in my VM setup instead of the GT 710. Perhaps I'll edit it one more time to see if the GT 710 shows up.

 

It appears that UnRAID 6.1.9 does not recognize my second NVidia GT 710 graphics card.

Do I need to update a driver somewheres?

Both your cards are recognized.

Did you install the drivers in the VM?

So, even though UnRAID recognizes my GT 610 but not my GT 710, that is okay? I have installed the drivers in my W10 VM but, I still get the Code 43. I tried to look a little deeper into the error and it seems that the driver that I got from the NVidia website may not be compatible with W10. I will try the driver CD that came in the box and see how that goes.

Unraid does recognize it at the device level, thats the 2:00 devices you listed.

 

Makes sense now. As pointed out in another thread, UnRAID recognizes it as a discrete PCIe device even though it doesn't know what the device is. As pointed out by saarg, I installed the GT 710 drivers in the W10 VM and now the Device Manager recognizes both my GT 610 and GT 710. Unfortunately, I am still getting the Code 43 on both. At least, I've made some progress today.

Be sure to disable hyper-v and vnc if you have those enabled. You will have to reboot your VM a couple of times before the change will take place. You might have to reinstall the drivers also.

I disabled Hyper-V but, why does VNC need to be disabled? Not sure how to reboot the VM from within without the VNC.

If you pass through a GPU you will see the screen on on the monitor connected to the GPU.

Yes, the VNC function have to be disabled with a nvidia card. otherwise you become the error 43 Code

You can enable remote desktop within the vm once it is up and running. It works much better than vnc
