March 5, 20206 yr Hello all, I am using Unraid for more than a year now for storage and docker apps. Could not be happier. I currently have a Mac Mini with an eGPU enclosure with an AMD Radeon 5700XT in it. I am going to upgrade the Unraid HW and I was thinking if I should invest on an i5/i7 put the 5700XT in the Unraid box and try and set up a Win10 VM for gaming and a MacOS VM for general use/video editing. Both of them need to be able to be GPU accelerated so I can get rid of the Mini and the eGPU enclosure. Browsing and reading for the last hour I cannot understand whether this is doable or not. There is the dreaded navi reset bug that I understand has not been resolved in Unraid 6.8.2 So what's possible at the moment. If one uses a NVidia GPU then there are no drivers for macOS. Is the whole thing non-approachable for the moment? If not then I will just buy a 9th gen Pentium G CPUjust for the HW transcode in Plex and abandon the whole VM scenario. Regards
March 5, 20206 yr Abandon the VM scenario. If you have to use a Mac, use a proper Mac. Going Hackintosh alone is already a risky venture, let alone going Hackintosh in a VM. Of course, if you don't have to use a Mac then use something else. If you have a lot of money, donate to your nearest charity instead of fattening Apple's balance sheet.

I prefer it for generic use and some occasional video editing. So I am willing to give hackintosh a try. Edited March 5, 20206 yr by snolly
July 25, 20205 yr did you manage the passtrough? I have similar setup i9900K with RX 5700 XT and I am currently running bare metal hackintosh, but I would loike to migrate to unRaid and set up windows 10 VM and Mac OS X VM with GPU passtrough
September 15, 20205 yr Same boat, cant passthrough My 5700xt to Catalina but has success with windows and ubuntu. Any solution?
