  • 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.
