850cc Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Cannot boot W10 with nvidia passthrough. Steps taken : - Downloaded bios with gpu-z from my card and modified as discribed by spaceinvader one. copied to folder on unraid and configured vm. This seems to modify the xml for the vm automatically under unraid 6.6.6 - vm starts according to gui but no ping or rdp to vm. with VNC as graphics cards all works well - upgraded to 6.6.7 > no result - boot unraid in UEFI > no result - downloaded bios from techpowerup and modified as spaceinvader one explanes > no result Can somebody help ?

jordanmw Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I had some similar issues and it really boiled down to dumping the bios from the actual card I was using- edit out the nvidia header with hex editor- then point it to that rom when building the machine. Then ran the full windows install from the physical monitor and it worked flawlessly. If I added VNC at any point it did not load video drivers. Quote Link to comment
Warrentheo Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I have a GTX 1070, all I had to do was dump with the command line before I messed with switching UnRaid over to the vfio-pci driver for the card... it dumped just fine, no modification needed... Quote Link to comment
850cc Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Thanks for the tip. I created a new vm with mapped rom, mouse and keyboard. Attached a monitor to GTX1060. Install went fine and installed nvidia drivers. Game On. Thanks very much Quote Link to comment
Chris Reilly Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I'm facing the same issues with a GTX 1070 - what is the aforementioned dump command? I just found nvflash but quite not sure how to use it. ie afraid to break something. Quote Link to comment

Let UnRaid boot the card with the default drivers (not vfio-pci, or the NVidia unraid plugin) then watch this video, it has the commands you need... P.S. I love Space Invader One, his videos are awesome!! Quote Link to comment
