Question about GPU passthrough in Linux KVM will it work with a 710 GT ?

[Seyrren]

Here is the hardware i have and how i plan to mount it/configure it:

- GA-Z170-HD3 DDR3 which has 2 PCI-e slots: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z170-HD3-DDR3-rev-10#ov

-an RTX2060 graphics card on the main PCIe slot

-an msi GT 710 1GD3 LP card which i plan on using on the 2nd PCI slot.

I want to use the RTX 2060 with the host linux OS as that will be my primary OS even for gaming, and i want the MSI GT 710 to be dedicated to the VM, because in the VM i want to run windows 7 X86 without any SP for some specific tasks.

Can this be done ? Is the MSI GT710 to old ? Or can i also passthrough the 710 ?

Also since my monitor supports two HDMI sources and its easy to switch between them i don't need 2 displays but is their a way to keep using the same Keyboard and mouse when switching to the VM ?

 

I'm asking this things because i don't want to get my hopes up if this isn't doable...

gt710 itself wont be a problem

you have to check for iommu groups in your motherboard

it depends on your motherboard but... why do you even want to do this in the first place? you don't need gpu passthrough just to get a display output, you can just use the emulated one in something like virtualbox

Japanese visual novels and eroge, the most compatible system for most of them is windows 7 32 bit with no service pack, they don't need a lot of GPU power and some even run okay in virtualbox but there's also a lot where virtualbox and vmware just doesn't cut it, or the experience is lacking, that's also why i plan on using a 710 Nvidia card (since its properly supported).
