Lee O'nell Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hello, I test Unraid with this config: MotherBoard : type X58, ga-x58a-ud5 Proc : I7 975 extreme GPU : RTX2070 My proc doesn't have VT-D support and X58 chipset normally have it. My Mobo officially, doesn't have. But I found a modded bios to enable it. I know that GPU passthrough need IOMMU support and UNRAID show me IOMMU enabled in the webgui. My question is, for GPU passthrough do I need VT-D support for the Proc AND the MoBo ? Or VT-D on Mobo is sufficient ? For the moment all my tries failed for GPU support (I have the GPU Vbios etc ...) , I can launch a VM linux directly on my computer but only with software render ... Thanks for your informations Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 CPU has to support it. But, with a CPU that "old", even if it did support it (without the modded BIOS), you would more than likely run into a ton of issues with attempting to do any passthrough. Save your hair on this project Quote Link to comment
Lee O'nell Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Ok thanks Squid, so it's not a bullshit from me, thanks for your concern about my hair but I'm afraid that it was too late before Unraid LOL. I wait for an old Xeon Proc founded at good price that supports VT-d and compatible with my MoBo, maybe with the modded bios ... For the price at worst I'll win 2 more cores. Quote Link to comment
