Ash3000k Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Hi all, So im a total noob to unraid but trying to learn fast, One of the things i really want to do is to use it as a gaming PC VM, but I cant get it to display on the physical monitor This is my hardware: HP Z420 with 6 core intel Xeon 8GB ram Nvidia quadro 600 (in first PCIe slot for unraid) Nvidia quadro 2000 GPU in second PCIe slot for Gaming VM (with physical montior attached) My unraid vm settings are: Win10 CPU Pass through 6 Threads 4GB Ram i440fx-3.1 OVMF Bios Hyper V on CD/HDD SATA Nvidia 2000 So I can run a normal VM fine with no physical GPU, but when I select a dedicated GPU and click run it says "running" on the GUI but nothing is displayed on the physical monitor Any ideas? Thanks Ash Link to comment
1812 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I may be mistaken, but the Nvidia 600 is certainly too old to use, and the 2000 may be as well. 700 series and above works. but regardless (or if I'm wrong) you can start by going to google and entering: nvidia windows vm black screen unraid site:forums.unraid.net that will bring up posts about windows black screens with Nvidia and a few resolutions Link to comment

Im only using these cards as im testing unraid for the 30 days to see if its worth me buying and this was the only hardware I had spare, Do I need to do anything with the GPU BIOS bit as I left it empty?

Thanks Ash Unraid is pretty flexible for it's output display. I don't think the 2000 will be a problem. Once you have everything setup, there are ways to then only have 1 gpu in the system for your vm so you don't waste any pcie slots. As long a you don't mind only having web gui access to Unraid (I have a z420 as well and this is how I use mine with a single gtx 1060 in it.) Link to comment

Ah sounds good, I will have a look for the GT 1030 tonight and swap the GPUs around, Random side note, do you have issues with your HDDs overheating in your Z420 when doing intensive things like parity check? My 3.5" Seagate hybrid hard drives get up to 56" and Unraid complains ? And I dont mind only using web gui, im use to using Vmware ESXI, 😁 Thanks Ash Link to comment

I haven't in the past (as of now all my spinning discs are in an external custom jbod enclosure), but I also have the aux fan in the bottom for pcie cards and I'm liquid cooled, inside a sound dampened acoustic rack with directed air flow... so that may also play into my temps.
