November 3, 20196 yr Hi, I am having an issue passing my non-primary video card to a Windows VM. I have a NVidia GT710 as my primary display in the top PCIe slot of my motherboard and an AMD RX 580 in the third slot. After installing Windows 10, I install the AMD drivers. After the setup Windows detects and sees the AMD card however Windows will not start after reboot if I have the AMD as the primary video card. I am unable to ping the VM or RDP (after I initially enable it) into the VM. When I have VNC enabled, I get a 'waiting on other display or user' error and will also not boot. I tried reversing the video cards and get similar results. I also tried adding the GPU BIOS but no luck. If someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks!

November 4, 20196 yr @davidst95 Try to switch to Q35 as machine type when you first setting up the Windows VM. For some people this helped.

Need clarification: so is the RX 580 primary (i.e. what UNRAID boots with) or not? They are two vastly different situations.
