VM with Ryzen 2200g

[samladin86]

I bought a Ryzen 3 2200g for some gaming but long story short went into my unraid want to create a vm has anyone tried or being successful at using the on chip graphics for the VM any guidence would be appriciate it

Probably a bit soon for many to have tried it, Have you gone through the process for a normal graphics card? Does it should up as a PCIe device for passthrough?

I actually don't have an extra graphics card to use that's why I was seeing if this was an option especially with the prices the way they are on gpu's this days

I meant try it using the onboard graphics, just go through the normal process it should (hopefully) be the same process. As long as it's showing up as a PCIe device you should be able to pass it through. Although I thought unRAID required a GPU of it's own to function? Might be a way to work around that, seem to remember Linus mentioning something in one of his latest unRAID videos.

Bang on. UnRAID needs its own GPU and you can pass through any other GPUs available in the system. It makes sense as all major hypervisors do this and you can't exactly pass through a device that's already in use.

I think Linus found a way to fudge it and pass all GPUs to VMs leaving none for unRAID but it wasn't something you could do out of the box. Wish I could remember what video it was in.

Pretty sure it was the 3 person VR video.

Awesome thanks that was the one, 7 min mark. Some better steps would make it a lot easier, not sure if it's a good idea though.

Thanks for leading me to the right path
