GPU passthrough in Unraid

[AKS_Adrian]

Hello,

 

I'm having issues getting GPU passthrough to work properly in an Unraid VM.

 

I make the VM and assign the GT 1030. I then install Windows and everything is good. But as soon as the display driver is installed the vm crashes and then has a blank screen and is on a boot loop and eventually boots into recovery which doesn't fix the problem. To get the system to boot I have to change the GPU to the VNC to remove the drivers.
I read somewhere that the Nvidia driver refuses to load if it detects that it is running in a virtualized environment. Is this true? I've tried older drivers and all have the same problem.

 

At this point I am completly stuck so if anyone is able to help me out here that would be appreciated. Thanks.

I guess a more useful question is, why are you trying to pass it a GT 1030? Just so you can have hardware display output from it? Does the VM actually need a GPU? 
 

But to answer the question. What hardware are you on? If Intel, is vt-d supported by the mobo and CPU, and is it enabled in BIOS?

what does event log have to say about the gpu driver?

 

last i heard the vm incompatibility was removed from drivers, i've also beed running a gt640 in one of my vm's for like a year or so.

Yeah, I just want a hardware display output.

Motherboard: Gigabyte X99-UD3P-CF, CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2620 V3, Memory: 96GB (3x32gb).

Vt-d is supported and enabled in the BIOS.

I can't seem to find anything that specifically mentions Nvidia but the crashes have been logged. "The previous shutdown was unexpected", "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first." and "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck".
