chuffs97 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Hey there, I have recently set up an unraid box with an Intel Xeon X5660, 8GB RAM, Gigabyte X58a-UD5 Motherboard and an AMD R9 290 GPU. I wish to pass the 290 through to a windows VM to be able to play games via steam inhome streaming and use the unraid box on a 4k TV in the living room. As far as I am aware, the X5660 and the X58 Chipset support VT-x and VT-d, but when I boot into unraid it shows up as IOMMU is disabled. When I am in the BIOS i cannot find a setting that specifically says VT-d, only intel virtualisation settings - Enable or Disable. Am I missing something or does either the X5660 or the Gigabyte board not actually support VT-d and only VT-x? Current BIOS version is FF1 (Gigabyte Beta BIOS). Any help would be greatly appreciated, Kind Regards, Chuffs Quote Link to comment
Lee O'nell Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hello I have exactly the same Motherboard with an X5680 just received, I try some operations in this way, Gigabyte Standard bios doesn't have VT-D option for sure. this requires a modded bios with hidden menu but for the moment my tries failed. For the moment I have VT-X problem and I'll flash back to standard bios. If I find something I'll keep you informed Quote Link to comment
