    Alternatively enable vGPU for the 2070 and use it for both Jellyfin LXC and Windows VM. https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock
  • GPU virtualization?
    3 projects | /r/kvm | 20 May 2023
    I'm on Linux and I'm running a 3070 Ti (Nvidia). I have always wanted to do GPU virtualization but because NVIDIA won't release vGPU for consumer card no one can do it without crossing legal red tape or problems with bricking your GPU. I did find this [https://github.com/jamesstringerparsec/Easy-GPU-PV] however it is only for windows, I found this [https://github.com/Arc-Compute/LibVF.IO/] and does not work with my GPU, and this [https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock] and can't get it to work. Done any one know an alternative on Linux that work just like this, overcoming these problems (on KVM)?

    Otherwise, your only other option is the real hardware virtualization options that are available. NVIDIA's enterprise vGPU solution is for expensive compute cards however some have had good luck making vGPUs work on consumer NVIDIA cards with tools such as vgpu_unlock

    There was a hack to enable it on some consumer cards, but it’s not available on Ampere/30x0 cards: https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock/issues/8
