    That’s why it failed for me, I don’t have an Nvidia GPU. I wanted to pass my GPU to my windows install but it never worked and I blamed kvm 🤦🏽‍♂️ I knew about the first part that the “3rd acceleration” isn’t a full GPU passthrough, but didn’t know the latter was Nvidia only.

      It does work with AMD GPUs too, I did it with an RX6800XT myself, but there are some (most…) AMD GPUs that have a reset bug which means they hang if you reboot the guest and you need to powercycle the physical host machine to make the GPU usable for the guest again.

        Well that sucks. I have a 580xt GPU. It’s about 7 years old, but still powers. Do you have a link on how to get it working? Pretty please?
