October 24, 20178 yr I currently have an x299 platform machine with two 1080 ti's and a GT 1030, I'm unable to pass through the gtx 1080 ti through the primary gpu slot, so I purchased a GT 1030 in the last pcie slot of my system I have a custom watercooling loop and cannot change the order o the gpu's and was wondering if there is a way for when unraid boots up to change the gpu it boots off of to be my GT 1030 so I can pass through both my 1080 ti's. I've tried the bios dumping and trying that out but no avail I've tried everything if anyone could give some insight I would appreciate it! latest version of unraid installed Asus strix X299 EVGA 1080 TI EVGA 1080 TI EVGA GT 1030 Core i9 7900x 32GB G skill ram Corsair Axi1200W 512gb Nvme SSD 2 x WD 4tb black drives
October 25, 20178 yr Hi - Speaking from experience, one of the very few boards that allow you to select which GPU to boot from are the Gigabyte boards. I had one on the x99 platform and it could do this but I ran in to issues with nvme passthrough. AFAIK there is no way to force UNRAID to boot from a specific GPU unless the BIOS has this feature. Alternatively, use the 1030 in the 1st PCIe x16 slot. Edited October 25, 20178 yr by mikeyosm
December 18, 20178 yr Just pass through primary card. That's what i do. I also have 2 1080ti's Edit should add that i only have two 1080ti's installed in my machine. Have been ruining unraid headless for around a year now without any problems. Originally had a 1080. Also install 6.4 if you haven't already. Much better performance in x299 systems. https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/41951-gpu-passthrough-with-only-one-card/ Edited December 18, 20178 yr by heratic
