I've tried just about everything and I can't get the passthrough to work. 

Specs: 

Motherboard: Asus rog strix x570i

CPU: 3900x

GPU: PNY XLR8 RTX 3090 UPRISING EPIC-X Triple Fan

RAM: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C18D-64GTZR

 

I've followed SpaceInvader One's videos to get the vm started. The card is outputting to a monitor but I am receiving error 43. I tried to follow this guide but this method seems dated. [GUIDE] Fix Nvidia Code 43 Issue on Nvidia GPU - VMs - Unraid

The kvm patcher is no longer being maintained and is not compatible with newer nvidia drivers, this is a problem with the new set of cards.

 

I tried booting for UEFI but it stopped my card from outputting completely. 

 

I've tried turning hyper-v on and off. This is my config

I've been battling with this for a while and could really use some help!

As you are passing a VBIOS, I assume you are using this as your primary GPU?

 

Have you tried using it as a secondary and not passing the BIOS to start with? Have you dumped your own VBIOS from the card or edited one?

 

I have no end of issues with my 1080 until I dumped my own bios.

@gray squirrel Since I’m using an ITX board I actually only have one slot. And yes I’ve already dumped the VBIOS from the card itself and removed the header. Let me know if you have any more suggestions!

I don’t remember editing the vbios when I dumped my own. I don’t think you are supposed to do that.

 

did you follow this guide?

 

 

edit: just re watched this and you need the 3090 as the secondary GPU.

 

when I tried dumping via GPUZ and editing it still don’t work for me. So I followed this guide.

do you have another system with two PCIE slots. Or somebody you trust to dump the bios via this method?

That's interesting. Do you have any new information, because Wendell from Level1 reported that the 3000 series does not output a 43 error anymore?!

Have you got all parts of the 3090 card selected in iommu/vfio sound any usb etc...

Also maybe try machine as i440fx

I actually moved the card to another machine running windows and I was able to successfully dump the bios on a different computer. It seems like spaceinvader used the card as a secondary gpu so that he can successfully pass it into the virtual machine. 

I've also referenced this video as it seems to be a bit more updated than the one you posted.

I've selected the sound and video controllers. The new cards don't seem to have usb.

I've tried both i440fx and Q35

Just took a look at this and am resetting my server now. Do you happen to have any recommended configuration for the vm. I've seen a lot of varying information, such as whether hyper-v is enabled, Q-35 vs 1440fx, booting from UEFI vs legacy, or even in the order of how to setup the vm. Such as vs setup

1. booting with vnc, installing all the drivers THEN rebooting with gpu passthrough

2. booting and setting up with vnc enabled and gpu passthrough
3. booting and setting up with only graphics card

I've tried just about every variation and am pretty much at my wits end. I'm hoping that modifying the boot menu alone will work.

VM setup it's been a while lol. As far as i can remember i passed 2070 super, audio and usb through when i created the vm's. I had to mess about a bit to find the correct usb's for each vm as i have 2 vm's with 2070 supers.

 

Make sure you have enabled all the options in BIOS for virtual machine, iommu etc...

Can you post your VM xml so i can look at it.

 @Juxsta

 You might benefit from the HOWTO I wrote over here:

 

I spent a lot of time putting this HOWTO together, and I usually refer to it when I see others struggling with the same.

 

Let me know if you found it useful. 👍

I tried this out but unfortunately I'm still getting the code 43

Yeah here it is. Let me know what your thoughts are

windows-vm.xml

You checked both the videos, followed all the instructions and made sure to pass through the sound devices exactly as advised also?

Yeah.I’ve dumped the v-bios using a different computer and passed in the rom file via the GUI. (Looks like the translated XML is the same as in the video). I setup the virtual machine using the most up to date options posted on your guide. I passed in both the Audio and video devices and made the respective changes to the xml as noted in the second spaceinvader video and your guide. I then continued to install all the drivers using virtio, but once the gpu installs its drivers, it immediately registers error 43.

I could definitely be missing something so please let me know if there’s anything you can think of that I missed.

Is slot='0x00 being used more than once? Virtio-net, virtio-serial and gpu looking at it.

@Juxsta can you post your full XML in a code block?

I think your USB is not being passed through.

 

Edit: Nevermind, saw that you did already.

Ahh I didn’t realize that virtio devices also need a slot. Would I move it to 0x01?

Looks like you can't modify the slot number of a pci address past 0x00

Just try putting the 3090 on 0x05 or something not in use, make sure not to change the part that is physical slot, first part i think it is. only change the virtual slot. check video space invader explains the difference.

Try this one. I think it's correct.

I get this error when Trying to use that file.

Looks like it wants the GPU to stay on slot 0. I'm getting similar errors when changing the slots for the virtio devices

Hmm ok. getting thin on idea's now. Have you tried working config without a vbios rom and see if the drivers install/load without error.

Edit: I say that can't remember if you even got windows setup or not?

There is no video output when loading up the gpu without a V-bios. And my windows VM is working, it's just throwing error 43. Saying the device was turned off because it wasn't working properly.

Yeah, I've been working on this for a while now. I've also messaged limetech support directly but they were unable to help me as they have been unable to get any 3090's on hand. The rep did say that it could also be a brand specific problem. If all else fails I do have an rtx 2080 evga card in my other rig, but i'd really rather not swap them.
