spylex Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Hey everyone, i was trying to see if my GPU would work with OVMF with the least amount of effort, and i stumbled across this useful VGA Bios Collection on techpowerup.com so if you are looking to buy a GPU or use an old one, it might be a quick method (not sure how accurate) for you to determine compatibility. https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/ Sadly, mine is not compatible!

f3dora Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Are you sure your 960 isn't compatible? All of my nvidia 9xx gpus work with OVMF Quote Link to comment
spylex Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 I only started searching about the problem when i couldn't get it to work, this is why i stumbled across that site... VGA BIOS not UEFI compatible apparently. This is my card: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5369#ov Quote Link to comment
johnodon Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Did you even try passing through without using a BIOS? What are your symptoms? Do you get no video? Does it throw an exception? FYI...the site you posted is listed in the KVM section of the unraid Wiki: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/UnRAID_Manual_6#Assigning_Graphics_Devices_to_Virtual_Machines_.28GPU_Pass_Through.29 Quote Link to comment
spylex Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 It was just not booting the VM at all. But it looks like after some tinkering today i got it working, so hey-ho my issue is a non-issue. I have not seen that wiki, and wow it seems updated since i've last been! Hope this forums reference is still useful as when i searched for the URL it didn't come up. Quote Link to comment
