Jaster Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Hey Guys, I'm using an NVidia as a primary which I can pass through and use. Now I added an RX580 and can't get it to run boot. As soon as I install a driver in the VM, the VM won't come up again. I tried using a rom from techpowerup, but it didn't change anything. Any help is appriciated... Thanks.

SonWon Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Try posting your question over here. An RX580 should likely work. https://forum.level1techs.com/ Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I can't find a post, but there are newer versions of the AMD driver causing that issue. Try to install an older version. Quote Link to comment

Try to install an older version. Sounds reasonable, as the default driver seems to run (kind of). Do you have any clue regarding 'older'? Like a month... or a year? Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 @Jaster I think it started with the drivers with the newer UI around january I guess. Try one from end of last year. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jaster Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 I went back quite a couple of versions...18.9.3 seems to do the job! Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Maybe report back from which driver the issue occurs in case someone else has the same problems @Jaster Quote Link to comment

SpecFroce Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I can´t wait to try this at home, but has anyone been able to install a more recent driver in the windows VM? I have the exact same problem with a RX 570. Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 @SpecFroce One or two users have reported switching the machine type to Q35, they are able to use newer drivers. Maybe worth a try setting up a new VM to test. Quote Link to comment
Jaster Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 haven't tried it yet, gaming mostly on nvidia... but I'd b intrested in the results as well Quote Link to comment

Maybe worth a try setting up a new VM to test. I tried Q35 and it seems to have a positive effect, but the driver install process leaves a lot to be desired. Unpack the driver and install via device manager in safemode. That goes for the graphics and the audio driver. I´m still struggling with exposing my mouse from a RDP desktop to the RDP-session and Steam game streaming hangs on initial install. All of these errors are at least better than not being able to install the drivers at all! I think when i get Cat 6a in the walls, i might have more luck since i then can separate my host and VM traffic to different NICs. All in all, lots more is working but this is a PITA. I have about 30-40 FPS ingame in Rust atm and no crackling audio. Edited May 26, 2019 by SpecFroce Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Try to change the cpu from pass through to qemu. Then the installer should work. 1 Quote Link to comment
SpecFroce Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Thank you for the tip. I still get error 1603 unfortunatly. Also: does anyone know why Rust allows movement but no use of the mouse in game? Some say it has to do with the unity engine. Edited May 29, 2019 by SpecFroce Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Are you installing through rdp? If you are, then try installing on the screen connected to the passed through card. Quote Link to comment
SpecFroce Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Thats a good suggestion. Thank you. I will try that also. Quote Link to comment
SpecFroce Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 After some testing it seems that the AMD drivers hate folder redirection. Now with that out of the way I’m still losing hair and sleep over how can I reliably access my Remote Desktop for game streaming with a AMD GPU on a Mac. Any suggestions that offer graphics acceleration? Quote Link to comment
