Hello,

 

i have a question relating passthrough of my GPU.

 

I read that in singel GPU Systems you may need to insert a dump file of your vbios.

But also i read that some are lucky and you can use the .rom files from techpowerup.  

 

My question about that would be, can i use both file formats (.dump,.rom) for the implementation in the XML Settings/Code or do i need to rename the rom file?

 

For example XXXX.rom rename to XXXX.dump

 

Thanks for your help and time.

File name does not matter. You can use whichever (and whatever) you want really.

Okay then i properly need a real dump of my GPU.

 

My Linux Manjaro work fine without vbios but windows VW wont show a picture.

 

Guess the Radeon VII is a problematic card to use aswell.

 

Thank you testdasi

The Radeon VII is a Vega so chances are you will need both a vbios and the Vega patch.

Preferably you should compile your own Unraid kernel with the patch but there's a forum member who kindly did it and share with everyone.

That sounds promising can you give me a name or link? 

 

or is that what you mean https://forums.unraid.net/topic/82261-vega-10-reset-bug-fixed-vega-5664-vfio-passthrough-now-possible-kernel-fix/  

?

 

Thx

This one. (Note that there were quite a number of posts after this so you might want to read up in case there have been further development. I don't keep track of what happens in there since I don't need Vega patch).

Very helpfull. Thanks for your time.

Seems to be a nice community over here.

Hello i just want to say i made it work.

Had been using the wrong .rom file. For the Radeon VII there are quite a few bios versions available.

As my card is from early 2019 (or at least the Bios) it uses the bios version 211. So if you download the .rom file from powertechup you need to check which vbios version you need. The versionnumber is in the filename of the rom. In my case XFX.RadeonVII.16384.190211.rom = version 211 

After i used the correct version display passthrough works fine. 

 

3D Marks Firestrike gets me arround 22K with stock r5 3600@ with 16Gig 3200CL14.

So close to a local installation.
