MobilePassThrough
Make GPU passthrough on notebooks easy and accessible! (by T-vK)
vfio
A script for easy pci and usb passthrough along with disks, iso's and other useful flags for quick tinkering with less of a headache. I use it for VM gaming and other PCI/LiveCD/PXE/VM/RawImage testing given the script's accessibility. (by ipaqmaster)

Is it possible to create a Windows VM with GPU Passthrough on the Acer Predator Triton 300 ?
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:

How hard is it to set up a Single GPU Passthrough Win10 VM
If you love wasting time you could give my script a shot as well from a terminal with your gpu as the -pci argument, but you'll also want to give it your USB controllers too.

AMD 7950X3D a VFIO Dream CPU?
In my script I have -name main,debug-threads=on in my qemu command which helps me find which child thread is the iothread. I do my pinning using the same debug thread name discovery method.

tired of virt-manager
Yeah my script is public and can be found here. I've thought about making an actual link post here a few times in the past but I guess the time to do so never really came up.

I Gave up VFIO due to I/O problems causing stutter in any VM - Unsuccessful/Unpopular Story
These boot arguments allow me to give my VM cores 3,11 to my guest while my host continues to operate (and handle any IOThreads I may have running for the guest) on the remaining cores 0(thread0,12), core1(thread1,13) and core3 (thread2,14). Personally, I handle my pinning dynamically with a bash script I wrote and still today find myself adding features and making improvements to. It can be found here if you want to give it a shot for your use case.

Easiest GPU Passthrough [GPU Passthrough Manager]
How does this compare to /u/ipaqmaster's script which accepts one-liners for single or dual and you're set?

Archcraft single gpu passthrough
You'll get further posting here by detailing what exactly is going wrong when you try and any configuration and scripts you tried to do it with. There are also scripts which try to be the everyman and do it all for you such as this vfio bash script written by one of the members here.

QEMU/KVM with VFIO passthrough kinda slow
You may wish to try my vfio script which handles all of that automatically. Could be worth a try.

Single GPU issues (Arch Linux)
I've missed no opportunity to plug it lately, but the slew of people using hardcoded scripts copy-pasted from some guide or youtube video has never felt right to me. I made my own dynamic script which handles most vfio problems on the fly rather than hardcoding start.sh/stop.sh scripts per configuration. It could be worth checking out given I made it for Archlinux (my desktop) and you seem to be running that too.

All of a sudden Win10 guest is unplayably laggy
I use this script to help start the qemu VM (there were no recent changes to the script) (I can paste the full qemu_system_x86_64 command if that would help) https://github.com/ipaqmaster/vfio

Fan Speed at 100% when VM offline
Well, if you'd be willing to give it a test drive just for fun I made and use this for my daily VFIO ease of access if you'd want to give it a try.
What are some alternatives?
