I just started dabbling in this tonight with a Windows 8.1 pro VM. I'd like to pass through video if possible. I have all of the virtualization turned on in BIOS. Here's what I have in system devices:

 

I'm lost what to do next! I appreciate any help :)

did you try just using a template to start?

I used the windows 8.1 vm template and am able to access it without using the video card via rdp or vnc.

on the vm template where it says "graphics card" click on that, select your card (assuming it shows up), update, and restart the vm.

 

Or are you getting some sort of error?

When I do that I'm no longer able to rdp to the vm. Not really sure if I'm doing it right I appreciate your help!

I also have a monitor plugged into the actual video card on the server and nothing displays.

also pass through the nvidia audio device. they are in the same IOMMU group and both need to be passed to the vm.

I do have both of them enabled. I tried it both with and without the sound card enabled. Are there any drivers I have to push to the vm like I did with the fedora windows drivers? Thank you!!

Without knowing much about editing XML or SSH'ing to the server itself and tooling around with devices I've decided to buy a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. There are three ports on the back of the video card and I've tried both DVI with no result. Any other ideas?
