Single-GPU-Passthrough VS vfio

Yes but that's a different kettle of fish. You then don't need two gpus, although if you do it can be useful. Start here and see how deep the rabbit hole goes https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough

Im assuming you're on a single gpu setup and, as such are trying to do single gpu passthrough with a single nvidia card. so you'll likely have to run some libvirt hooks or smth to run scripts to unbind your gpu once you start your vm. In which case id suggest going through these two guides 1 2 which go over completely passing through your single gpu when you start your vm

Out of curiosity, who is Muta, the video dude, or the guide writer, or someone else? From the GitHub it sounded like running the commands from the guide would create a qemu.d/[VM Name]/prepare/begin/start.sh . If I were to simply create those directories myself, and then script as described in the video, I should be good?

Thanks for the info. Some of these I recognize from a single gpu passthrough project on github that i used on my main rig... https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough

I've had Windows and Linux on dualboot for a while now, because of that i usually stayed on Windows as I didn't want to have to restart my PC everytime just to go from watching youtube to playing (Windows supports my graphics card [GTX 1050 2GB Vram] better then linux, at least on the games I play). I have tried to make a VM of windows before but it didn't run well, at least not well enough for gaming. So recently when I found out about GPU passthrough I saw It as a way to main Linux and still game on Windows. I know the process of doing It is hard (I already failed it twice), so as I noticed that tutorials on the internet didn't really help me, I decided to come in here. I've mainly seen 2 guides on how to do It, those being joeknock90's (link: https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough) and YuriAlek's (link: https://gitlab.com/YuriAlek/vfio), and I don't know which one would be better for my case.

I've been following these guides, mixing and matching info (https://github.com/bryansteiner/gpu-passthrough-tutorial, https://gitlab.com/YuriAlek/vfio/, https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough) as well as the archlinux wiki. I think I setup the boot loader, hooks and stuff correctly.

I would also post your IOMMU groups to see if there is any issues there: iommu.sh

You can start from Arch Wiki first, just setup a basic standard KVM without Pass through and vfio, then check out this to get the ideas for a single GPU passthrough, and make your own script(scripts are going to be little bit different because they all use nvidia GPU), and if you have any other questions you can ask :)
