How to dump my Nvidia GPU ROM
NVIDIA VBIOS Step 1: How to extract or obtain your VBIOS Option 1 (preferred): Pull the rom via nvidia's proprietary tool nvflash (https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-nvflash/). The download is a zipped binary (not source), simply unzip it, chmod +x, and run it: ./nvflash --save original.rom. Note1: This tool does not work when the nvidia proprietary driver is bound to the card. It will work with no driver bound, vfio-pci, or in some cases nouveau (sketchy). Note2: This can also be done with windows both native and virtualized using GPU-z's save vbios button. GPU-z uses nvflash internally Option 2: Download a rom from Techpowerup's database that matches your PCI ID's and Subsystem ID's. Here is an example with a GT 710: $ lspci -nnk (...) 0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 710] [10de:128b] (rev a1) Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] GK208B [GeForce GT 710] [1462:8c93] The ID's are 10de:128b and 1462:8c93. Google techpowerup + these numbers and download a rom that matches. Double check that all ID's match. (edited) [10:30 PM]Aiber: NVIDIA VBIOS Step 2: Determining the start of the VBIOS within the ROM file NVIDIA rom files contain extra data (IFR, other firmware, etc.) at the start of the file. We can obtain the vbios portion of the rom by trimming off the unwanted bits. This must be removed before passing it to a VM. Use rom-parser (https://github.com/awilliam/rom-parser) and look for the first entry Valid ROM signature found @XXXXh: $ rom-parser original.rom Valid ROM signature found @600h, PCIR offset 190h PCIR: type 0 (x86 PC-AT), vendor: 10de, device: 128b, class: 030000 PCIR: revision 0, vendor revision: 1 Valid ROM signature found @fc00h, PCIR offset 1ch PCIR: type 3 (EFI), vendor: 10de, device: 128b, class: 030000 PCIR: revision 3, vendor revision: 0 EFI: Signature Valid, Subsystem: Boot, Machine: X64 Last image The header size is the hexadecimal value @600h which is 1536 bytes in decimal. (edited) [10:30 PM]Aiber: NVIDIA VBIOS Step 3: Removing the headers If the value from step 2 is not zero, the extraneous data must be removed, 0x600 bytes in particular this case: $ dd if=original.rom of=vbios.rom bs=$((0x600)) skip=1 You may verify the result by redoing step 2 on the new file to confirm the rom now starts at @0h (the beginning of the file.) NVIDIA VBIOS Step 4: Passing a VBIOS to the VM Libvirt: Under for the GPU video device add Qemu: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,romfile=/path/to/vbios.rom (edited) August 26, 2018

Do you need or not need a vbios file?
When your PC boots and initializes its NVIDIA gpu as pci devices go. The the vbios rom provided by the GPU gets completely truncated, overwritten and in short, fucked. This isn't a problem though because your host has already initialized the card, you would never need to initialize it again and if you try to do a vbios dump after this you'll notice it does not pass a vbios check with a project such as rom-parser (https://github.com/awilliam/rom-parser) and instead errors early. Now you're about to unbind your nvidia driver on the host and bind vfio-pci and give it to your VM. The TianoCore (OVMF.fd) EFI bios your VM will boot into will do the same thing your host did to initialize the card. But that program stored in your GPU's ROM is completely borked because your host already initialized it. The VM won't be able to draw anything if this happens.

Error 43 on Desktop PC GTX950
In order to get the vBIOS I had to use NVFLASH, since my GPU model isn't on TechPowerUp. Initially I modded it manually with a hex editor, but after reading some posts I decided to try checking the rom using rom-parser, which told me that it was valid, and patching the rom with NVIDIA-vBIOS-VFIO-Patcher (At first this script was throwing an exception, but I got around it using --disable-footer-strip), after starting the VM with this new patched rom both my monitors turned black and I was forced to shutdown the PC. I also tried patching the only GTX950 Zotac ROM on TechPowerUp and using it but I get no display out.

Have you patched this and verified it with something like rom-parser?

Hello. GPU pass successful. Nvidia driver install successful. Dumped my gpu vbios then edited the header. Added vbios to my VM. Added my vbios to be loaded in the VM. But I still get Error 43. What am i missing? My laptop: Intel Core i7 6700HQ, RAM 16GB, Nvidia 970M 3GB VRAM
/u/compile_me_world I'd recommend checking your vbios with rom-parser to make sure it terminates correctly, and maybe attempt patching a new one using NVIDIA-vBIOS-VFIO-Patcher. Don't be afraid to grab a dump from TechPowerup, it has a whole catalogue and has been helpful for my 2080Ti, 780Ti, 680 and GT710.

Single GPU Passthrough where scripts seem to work but monitors receive no input [Fixed]
I figured this process would be a lot harder than it was, but that's also what I assumed about updating the bios. But thankfully the #wiki-and-psa channel in the discord pretty much guided me through it. I used chmod +x ./x64/nvflash followed by disabling nvidia's driver modules via this guide. Though trying to start the restart the modules with sudo systemctl start multi-user.target didn't work so I just rebooted. I moved onto step 2, determining the start of the rom with rom-parser and then needed to use dd to remove the header, if you use fish, swap back to bash to execute dd if=vbios.rom of=vbios.fixed.rom bs=((0xHEX)) skip=1 (replacing HEX with whatever your parser output was.)

Tesla K10 without hardware mod can now work as cloud gaming/CAD device under Proxmox!
FWIW, rom-fixes would be an easier means to change the device ID in the ROM, and it'll fix the checksum as well - https://github.com/awilliam/rom-parser

Code 43 on non-UEFI compatible GPU
I basically followed this post, I also found that my GPU is not UEFI compatible (GPU-Z and rom-parser confirm this) and I remember reading in a forum somewhere that this might be the cause of code 43. I'm not really sure, but I have ran out of things to try. The manufacturer nor NVIDIA have a newer rom publicly available. So I'm asking you fine folks for some help. Has anyone else encountered this problem or knows something that might be related to this?

GPU virtualization?
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
