vgpu-proxmox VS OSX-KVM

This is a good guide on setting up vGPU. https://gitlab.com/polloloco/vgpu-proxmox

A better way [for me, anyways] is getting GRID drivers running. However, this only works with the 9xx cards up to the 2080.

We've followed PolloLoco's guide and confirmed we had vGPU functioning on the host and could pass vGPU with an A profile to a Windows 10 VM. Profile was overridden to the following (NOTE: nvidia-49 is a Q profile):

Look into proxmox and vgpu, craft has a couple videos on it itself. If you have an ampere + (rtx 3k,rtx 4k series)card, you're out of luck. At least for the "free" version. Also, don't use his videos as step by step guides. They're outdated but good for a general "road map" of his it'll be to set up. I followed this gitlab to setup a test server with a 1660 ti. In theory you should be able to do a windows and Linux VM off the same card. I say in theory because the 5 minutes I tried to set it up it didn't work. I was in a hurry and just haven't gotten back to trying it out.

Although not quite what you want, the T1000, as a Turing-based card, is one of the ones that can support the vGPU hack: https://gitlab.com/polloloco/vgpu-proxmox

For the GPU portion, you can unlock vGPU support in proxmox for free with this script

Most AI projects are going to need a GPU to work. If you really want to get into AI I recommend moving to proxmox and use a Vgpu unlock script to split your GPUs between VMs instead of being limited to one pass through GPU per VM.

Yes, I recently had to compile some stuff on Windows (I'm on an AMD Linux host) and VirtualBox just wouldn't start Microsoft's Windows dev VM (the one they provide for free for Virtualbox). I ended up learning how to use qemu and it works great...and as a bonus I was able to run a hackintosh (via https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM) and it works near flawlessly, which was something I was never able to accomplish with Virtualbox (granted I haven't tried in a few years).

I'm pretty happy with Qemu now, even if it's jsut a CLI interface. I was tempted to try the virt-* stuff, but honestly it seems like one more thing to learn so I'm going to hold off until I need something like copy/paste between VMs and can't figure it out in qemu direct.

Working on a patch to include it as a flake input instead of vendoring it in the repo, so this should no longer be true. I use the QCOW2s for OpenCore from osx-kvm that I have not figured out how to reproduce yet https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM/blob/master/OpenCore/OpenCore.qcow2

For almost a year, I have been coding a little project in Python intended to piggyback on the framework of kholia's OSX-KVM project, known as ultimate-macOS-KVM, or ULTMOS.

I just researched a bit, mac os x guest vm with pcie passthrough seems possible on linux.

VirGL is definitely an interesting project, but all one has to do to get GPU passthrough working (from a Linux QEMU host to any guest OS) is: 1.) research a cheap, secondary GPU that is natively supported by the guest OS, 2.) plug such a secondary GPU into a PCIe slot on the host and hook it up to the primary monitor with a secondary cable (D-Sub vs. DVI, etc.), 3.) setup Linux to ignore the secondary GPU at boot and configure a QEMU VM for the GPU passthrough. The whole process takes perhaps one or two hours and as works flawlessly, with no stability issues. (Switching across the two GPU cables can be accomplished in software by using Display Data Channel /DDC/ utilities and switching keyboard/mouse can be accomplished by using evdev /event device/ passthrough.)

I get "verification failed" error when using https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM

I also see there is KVM-OSX which looks to be actively maintained, but I haven't heard anything about it.

You can use qemu/libvirt/kvm on any Linux host to run macOS pretty easily these days[1]. I run Ventura on unraid with nvidea gpu passthrough and it’s been fairly painless.

You can also run macOS in docker, but it’s ultimately running through qemu/kvm as well[2]
