Virtual Machine Linus Video

Hi Guys,

 

Following Linus' Guide video, I was wondering. Would this work for a Dual GPU card such as HD 6990 or 590 GTX?

Would I be able to split one gpu on the board to one screen, and one to the other??

it wopuld still be seen as one card I think. but perhaps @LinusTech can try it ?

Maybe, maybe not. In general, passing through a dual-GPU card is difficult. Puget Systems did what Linus did, using VMWare technology instead, and had trouble with dual-GPU cards. They did get Nvidia GPUs working with an Ubuntu kernel-based VM, but they didn't test dual-GPU cards.

This kind of stuff is very much on the fringes of what Virtualization is capable of. Nvidia and AMD are both moving to full virtualization support with vGPU and vSGA, respectively, but it's only in the enterprise space at the moment.

Almost certainly not.

I don't think you can because the way you pass through to a GPU is by addressing the PCIe slot the card is installed in. Thus, it will be seen as a single GPU/device by the VM.

No I don't think this would work.

 

In the case of a dual GPU card that had like... dedicated video outputs on the back for each GPU it might be MORE possible.. but right now it's not a thing.

Awww, would've been a solution instead of my friend bringing over his PC every time he visits 200 KM away by train.

Thanks for the confirmation, and AWESOME video. I didn't even know this was possible.

Does AMD have anything on their side like this? (AMD CPU's)
