Issues with VT-X enabled?

[whm1974]

I recently found the fix for Nvidia dGPUs losing the signal to the Display while playing Games. At least in Windows 10 it is caused by VT-X turned on. With Manjaro Linux, that being off doesn't work, I had to change to Video-Linux Drivers instead. And Removing everything Nvidia...

 

I found this in a Thread about this Issue and a Post there mentioned the fix. But I am wondering what other Major Problems with various Hardware not working correctly caused by this?

 

So if don't need VT-X...

VT-x's primary function is virtualization. So long as you don't plan on running virtual machines any time soon you shouldn't need it.

True but I find this to be rather strange that this occurred to begin with.

It does sound strange. I'd have to guess it comes down to the NVIDIA driver since (if I'm not mistaken) the driver you install for desktop cards is the same driver you would install for workstation/server cards like Quadros or Teslas. These cards have innate virtualization features built-in for providing video acceleration or compute to virtual machines. So it's not out of the question that a bug in the driver could cause problems for a gaming card with VT-x enabled.

This happens with both Windows 10 and Linux. It is now fixed with Win10 but I only tried one game so far. With Linux the Issue still remains. I had to remove the Nvidia Drivers for it to stop. 

 

I put back in GTX 970 where it first started.

I was trying to see if there are other Issues caused by VT-X being on. Besides with Nvidia dGPUs. Or the Closed Drivers for them.
