March 2, 20179 yr So I installed the newest version of Unraid on my X99 build which is water cooled. What I want to do is have a windows VM running with the gtx 970 passed through. As x99 doesn't have on-board graphics I picked up a gt 210 as a secondary GPU. Because my system I hard-line water cooled I can't change the slot of the 970. There for it is the primary GPU. With the gt 210 passed through I get an image displayed and can use the Win 10 VM. But when I pass through the 970 I only get a black screen. I guess that has something to do with it being the primary gpu, I don't know though how I could get it to work without swapping the cards which as already said is not possible. The other hardware is a MSI X99A sli plus mobo and 5820k cpu. For now I have my windows machine running on the gt210 which is ok for web browsing but I'd like to play a game again or render a video some time which requires the 970 passed through.
March 3, 20179 yr Unless you can set your gt210 to be your primary adapter in the bios, your only hope is that someone have dumped the bios of a 970 you can use. I think gridrunner have a collection of bioses somewhere.
