gareth_iowc Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) Hi All, Has anyone managed to get a gpu working with a windows xp vm? I have passed my gtx970 to the windows xp vm and installed drivers using guide - https://mattpilz.com/windows-xp-drivers-nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-980-980-ti-titan-x/ Now the drivers are installed windows xp can see the gfx card correctly but i get an error code 10. I am using vnc as my main card and gtx970 as the second. if i used the gtx970 as my main card the vm won't boot I am using the correct bios file for this GPU as i can start it with windows 10. My friend has attempted this with his own fresh install and using an XP supported GPU and has the same result.

gareth_iowc Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'm starting to think it has somthing to do with sea bios. If i chose the 970 as the main gfx card with seabios the vm won't boot. If i use ovmf i get a picture but the vm won't load as windows xp does not support UEFI Quote Link to comment
gareth_iowc Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Turns out not choosing a bios file allows the vm to start using the gfx card Quote Link to comment
omenariita Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Install fresh Windows XP SP3 without any issues, Gigabyte GTX 970 WF3 passed into it and i use winxp nvidia drivers ver. 344.11, without any hacks or anything else.
