Yeesh, everyone now jumps on the ai hypetrain.

Not sure what firmware limiters you’re talking about?

The same limitation mentioned it the guide you shared:

This solution basically hands over the GPU to guest OS upon booting the VM and hands it back to the host OS upon powering off the VM. The obvious downside of this is that you can’t use the host OS (at least graphically) while the guest is running. It is therefore highly recommended that you set up SSH access to your host OS just in case of issues.

Also thanks for sharing it. I will try it some other time. 🙂

Patch NVIDIA BIOS (only for Pascal GPUs)

Only 10xx is affected or older cards are too ?? 😑

Looks interesting but I think claims of VMetal in regards of gaming are kind of bullshit. I have been looking into running windows/Linux in VM and have it full access to GPU (GPU pass through) and there are 2 major problems.

1. Nvidia and amd being scummy and having firmware limiters in consumer GPUs to segment their products. This should be “fixable” by modifying firmware but … Yeah… Not very comfortable thing to do

2. Motherboards not having support or worse have broken implementation of iommu.

Maybe my “research” was bad. Let’s hope someone will correct me.
