I am testing testing a new build with a trial version of Unraid  preparing to move my stuff over soon.

Super Micro XLDTL-if Mother board 32G Ram - Booting in Legacy Bios mode it does not do UEFI

two XEON 5670 processors

 

I have 3 GPU cards I am "testing" with my hope is to get one of them as GPU Pass through consistently

Nvidia 9500gs

Nvidia 8600gs

AMD Radeon 4650

 

I have had the some luck with the AMD and Windows 10 with the GPU pass through and full control with the mouse, however it hangs when I restart the Win 10 VM  and it does not seem to be very consistent. Sometime yes sometime no. My logs suggested it picked up the PCI card, I see the id but no picture. 

 

I have followed space invaders guide (both parts) build this all with VNC and put in all the drivers. Can't seem to figure out what is going on.

For the AMD I get two devices (Video and Sound) and put both of them in the VM

 

I have a Nvidia 8400 gs on the way as someone suggested this $15.00. We will see what happens with that one.

 

I have two windows VM I am testing with one with OVMF the other with SeaBios.  That way I can mix and match gpu cards with each system. 

 

with the NVIDIA cards I can get a picture with SeaBio but it won't allow me to log in as if there is no mouse/keyboard . I only have one that I pass through to the VM. 

 

What combo should I try? Does Anyone have these cards?

What do I need to post here to help figure this out?

 

 

Those are some very old GPU's so it would be quite hard to know what would work without the person actually having the card. You might to ask the "someone" who suggested the 8400 GS on the config.

It appears that I have figured out how to get the NVIDA cards to work with SeaBIOS. I had to set the USB Controller in the VM to 3.0 (qumu xhci) and not ehci , that did the trick. Seems to be working flawless. I will certainly attempt to upgrade the video card. For what I am doing this seems to work
