MobilePassThrough VS optimus-vfio-docs

script for my laptop(auto configs for GPU passthrough on qemu): https://github.com/T-vK/MobilePassThrough

i use this one btw:https://github.com/T-vK/MobilePassThrough/tree/3e35715cd06ae8f6f6c51f3ed58da892e67ec193 to install bumblebee + nvidia

Script i used: https://github.com/T-vK/MobilePassThrough

For those who are running Fedora or Ubuntu it exists a wonderful project named MobilePassThrough by T-vK on GitHub that install the VM for you but also can do a compatibility check for it. All you have to do is clone the repo, and run their command like so:

If you have this one but didn't try a dGPU Passthrough, you can use this: https://github.com/T-vK/MobilePassThrough

You can follow jscinoz's guide to see if you can get it going for yourself in some very limited cases, but overall it's quite an involved task with a lot of work to succeed.

Hi. I have the same model and it is definitely possible to passthrough the NVIDIA GPU. I don't think USB-C port is connected to the GPU and I always use the HDMI one. You need to connect with a monitor or a HDMI plug otherwise the GPU will not work. I also patched OVMF to include ROM (https://github.com/jscinoz/optimus-vfio-docs/issues/2) and a fake battery. I have a hook script to switch GPU on and off using bbswitch. I use this rom since other didn't work or have some problems. I allocated 3 of 4 cores to the VM. For me, the performance is okay for games that I play. I tried Valorant a few months ago with Looking Glass and performance is not that good, however.

This whole thing started 2 years ago when I tried passing my nvidia dGPU to get it working on a Windows guest for Autodesk programs (aka, that joyful company that hates everything non-Windows and free), but lo and behold, it didn't work! Shocker! So I followed through 2 sources: - This issue thread - This guide
