Inenting Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Hello all, I have got a very weird problem with my Windows VM (I haven't tried with linux or macos). I installed a copy of Windows 10 pro with VNC. Afterwards I added a discrete GPU to the VM like so: All works and its great, but when I remove the VNC and use only the GPU, I can't connect to the VM through RDP or teamviewer anymore. I can't even ping it. I tried connecting a monitor to the GPU but all I get is a black screen. I have tried with other gpu's but it is all the same. I don't mind leaving the VNC installed but I read somewhere it would be better to remove it and also in windows it shows a exclamation mark in device manager. So my question is, should I just leave it with VNC enabled and it doesn't affect performance or is there a way to fix it? EDIT2: I tried some programs and games that (should) use the GPU but it doesn't seem to want to work so I definitely want to fix this. A bit more info about my system: Motherboard: Asus Z10PA-D8 GPU: MSI GTX 1080 VM OS: W10 Pro NIC: onboard dual 1gb bonded + asus XG-C100C Log from the VM: https://pastebin.com/geMsqsmB Looks like it is hanging at vfio_dma_map with bad address, does anyone know what that means? unraidserver-diagnostics-20200411-2310.zip Edited April 11, 2020 by Inenting Updated info Quote Link to comment

Inenting Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yes, I have installed the drivers, I can RDP into the vm when I have VNC enabled but I can't when I remove VNC option in unraid. Quote Link to comment
Inenting Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) I gave up on this... I managed to get it working by doing one of the following(I'm not sure which one helped): - Set bios to "SeaBios" - Set Machine to Q35 - Installed with only VNC first and afterward remove VNC and added GPU and installed drivers with teamviewer - Did not install Virtio video drivers - Bios update had reset my GPU settings so I put that back as well (Unraid igpu only) However in device manager it kept showing up with the yellow exclamation mark and games/tensorflow/boinc couldn't use GPU. So I just decided to put it in my gaming pc and live with the heat. I have also ordered a HDMI dummy plug to check if that might fix it but I don't know when it'll arrive and when i'll want to test it again. Edited April 12, 2020 by Inenting Quote Link to comment
