Posted May 10, 2021 Ok, I've gotten some of the steps done but I'm running into a wall finding information that's current. Made a VM with Hyper-V for Windows 10 on Windows 10, looking to get GPU (Vega56) installed in the VM so I can run some stuff in VM with GPU. Problem is I'm finding a lot of information referencing features which aren't current anymore, older versions of Hyper-V and older versions of Windows/Windows 10. https://forum.cfx.re/t/running-fivem-in-a-hyper-v-vm-with-full-gpu-performance-for-testing-gpu-partitioning/1281205 I found this tutorial and followed it as well as I could, copied the AMD drivers to the right locations I think, and now have 2 RX Vega show up in device manager with a Code 43, rebooted and there's still 2 on Code 43. Honestly I've gotten a lot farther along than I ever thought I would so I'm kind of proud of myself for being able to follow directions that weren't exact to my situation. I tried to run the Radeon driver installer in hopes it would do something, it errors with a message there's no Radeon hardware to install a driver for. Trying to update the driver manually also doesn't pan out, Windows says I'm using the best driver already. I'm ready for some ELI5 now I think, thanks to anyone who wants to help.

Posted May 10, 2021 I read, at a time Hyper-V as you found out yourself supported GPU pass-through. All of my own research into this pointed at a feature known as RemoteFX. Weather or not you still have access to RemoteFX I don't know but it's your best bet. Outside of this I would seriously consider replacing the host OS with something else. VMware vSphere, PROXMOX, almost any Linux distro + QEMU/KVM, UnRAID even. These are built with the intention of passing hardware (such as PCIe devices) through to VMs. Guides & Tutorials: PROXMOX - Rebuilding ZFS RAID rpool After Disk Failure Mass Deploying Customized Windows 10/11 Installs Building a GNU/Linux Based Windows Deployment Server GNU/Linux Installer Server: Installation & Configuration How to: Use (i)PXE to Install Windows from a Network Why Memorize IP's When You Can Self-Host DNS Instead?

Others have gotten this working with Windows 10 guests in Hyper-V on Windows 10 hosts and I feel like I'm close...I'm just missing something and don't know enough about this to figure out what I'm missing. I'll come back to it tomorrow or later in the week and see if I can completely break everything in the process of making it work. Here's what clued me into the rabbit hole that got me this far. I've got like 30 tabs open each with a different part of the puzzle trying to string it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 10, 2021 Alright. So the process looks like it's suppose to be simple enough for NVIDIA GPU's (I see that's not what you're working with). One thing you have to consider is that not all GPU's play friendly with GPU pass-through. The RX5000 series is a prime example. Don't know about the VEGA cards. I found another article discussing this but I don't think it adds any worthwhile information.

Posted May 10, 2021 Author I'll check that out tonight. I think I need to give up my computer for a few days to ride this ether high and mine with the Vega 56. I'll revisit this this weekend and let you know what I figure out. Figured it was a cake walk for Nvidia, most things are. I'm hoping that Vega works out too. My next stab in the dark was going to be to delete the Vegas from device manager and reboot to see what happens. Might be missing some driver files, I'm seriously pretty stoked anything even showed up but confused about having two and wondering if that's the source of code 43. I'll stumble into a solution eventually I'm sure, I'll be sure to post back my convoluted path to success. I wonder if OpenCL works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still seriously consider moving to a hypervisor OS or QEMU/KVM. I even have a tutorial on the process and how you can game in the VM from the host using Looking Glass. It needs to be updated for Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS as a few things have changed but 95% of the process is still the same. Just something to think about if you hit a brick wall... :3 Guides & Tutorials: PROXMOX - Rebuilding ZFS RAID rpool After Disk Failure Mass Deploying Customized Windows 10/11 Installs Building a GNU/Linux Based Windows Deployment Server GNU/Linux Installer Server: Installation & Configuration How to: Use (i)PXE to Install Windows from a Network Why Memorize IP's When You Can Self-Host DNS Instead?

Also have 32GB RAM because it was cheap back then, complete overkill for what I do with my PC but I don't build often so I overbuild when I do build. I'm fairly sure that's enabled but I'll have to double check next reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always looking to throw myself off a cliff to learn new things you wouldn't think I know. Relatable. I'm working on a project that's teaching me how to braise aluminum and I plan to learn how to weld steel. Also working on how to setup a iPXE server so I can have network clients boot to virtual iSCSI drives on the network instead of relying on local storage. GPU Pass-through among passing other hardware devices like USB controllers and HBA cards is something I've investigated thoroughly and have had a lot of fun with. I did investigate GPU Pass-through with Hyper-V but that led me down the RemoteFX rabbit-hole. I didn't put much more time into it before just opting to use my PROXMOX server. That's another option you have. You could build a dedicated hypervisor server for hardware pass-through.

My 2700X with it's 32GB RAM is the oddball in the house, everything else is Intel 4th gen and 4 cores or less. Side note, I know how to braze steel and weld steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. It's been a long time but I could (probably still can) TIG, MIG, Stick, and Gas weld with some competency. I haven't brazed aluminum yet but it looks pretty straight forward. Also used to have a 'solar forge' of sorts when I was a kid in the form of a big fresnel lens and used to play with alloying different metals together. Aluminum and bronze was a neat one!

Posted May 11, 2021 Coincidentally I've been down the rabbit hole on this and just had some success last night. In my case I've been trying to get passthrough working with Windows Sandbox (which is basically a Hyper-V virtual machine) I'm on Intel/Nvidia but maybe this can hint toward a fix for you. What worked for me was 1) Enabling vGPU with a config file, and 2) Enabling Intel virtualization in my BIOS (a.k.a Intel VT-D Tech). Maybe there's a similar setting on your AMD board? Now I can see my GPU in Sandbox and I'm getting about 2/3 of the benchmarking performance compared to native. On one hand it feels like a success, but I'm researching to see if I can get the performance up with Sandbox or another solution. Ultimately I'm trying to set up an isolated environment for mining; looks like you might be trying to do the same. If you make any breakthroughs feel free to let me know :) I made a Reddit post with more information it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 11, 2021 IIRC wasn't Vega kinda troublesome with VM passthough? I have been playing with this for the last 6 or 7 years myself. VMware, HyperV, and more recently ProxMox. I'd suggest using a Linux based hypervisor for what you are looking to do honestly. ProxMox is fairly easy to use (even at the CLi leve) since it's Debian. I am fixing to take my newish dual 2690v3 and try this with 1070's and see what the results are. If GPU's weren't so hard to get right now I'd pick one just for your sake and see what issues you might be running into. Alas that isn't an option here.
