I'm glad someone is teaching this. Thank you for your time.

Pavol Elsig I want to say BIG THANKS to you man! Its because of your work(the tutorials, the manjaro gpu passthrough repo and EXTREMELY THOROUGH EXPLINATION) I have been running a KVM with GPU passthrough for some time not confidently! THANKS AGAIN MAN

[chriswhrtn]

thanks man this is a pretty straight forward way to do it compared to how daunting some guides can make it look commend you for making a script that covers most bases by configuring grub etc

[jeffovington]

You are an absolute legend with your videos! I don't know if I have ever commented on a video but I just had to let you know!

I've been distro hopping for days working on getting gpu passthrough and lookin-glass up and you've been a WEALTH of information! THANK YOU!!!

[akeylawhite]

First tutorial that actually worked, thanks.

[mefflecakes]

I can't upvote your videos enough, thank you Pavol 👍👍👍👍👍

[Agambada]

the performance after optimization is very impresive

[skyracer-mkhg]

I was literally just watching your old video xD

Can we use only one monitor with GPU passthrough? I noticed you mentioned using two monitors or switching the cable from the host graphics card to the graphics card that was passed through.

Hello first I want to thank you for all your work !! actually everything is working perfectly thanks to you( gpu passthrough and looking glass with minor stutters on some games like eldenring )
i have a question a little off topic :
do you think its possible, without reboot, with something like a script, to switch between gpu passthrough and gpu offloading ( Nvidia prime by example ) ?

[vampirzhul]

Nice guide ! It would nice if you could make one for GPU passthough with Windows host and Linux guest with iGPU hot switching.

Anyone know how to revert the driver from vfio-pci to nvidia?

[janoslaszlovasik]

Any change I can use this on my laptop? I don't have a monitor to plug into the HDMI port.

[jakub_zawadzki]

Hi, could you post any guide on how to get sound from a setup like this? I don't have a USB sound card, and my monitor doesn't have sound output, so am I just out of options? Thanks.

How passthrough on deepin / debian 10+ ?

[lolololo]

hi man, great video! Do you know how to create gpu pass through for non-uefi gpu bios ?

I have zotac gtx 680 4gb that have legacy bios and would like to install proxmox and create vm for big sur and monterey and pass through the gpu but im not sure if that is possible or not for my gpu ?
installing hackintosh is a pain cause stuff keep breaking or stop working like power management and graphic with new updates and new os x versions so i think its time for me to go with linux, something easy like manjoro and use os x in vm then installing it natively since apple is cutting support for my hardware with every new release :( currently im still on el capitan so u can imagine how much im behind :(

[halostnight]

that script broke my os xP
but no worries, had timeshift to fix it,
but i did everything manually, and it worked,
i think the problem was because my system was encrypted, and it removed some important hooks or something, not sure

[audiovid.]

Is there a way to split host GPU and share it with virtual machine with passthrough? Just single GPU shared by host + v-machine

[withuniverse]

can this tutorial support on laptop optimus grapich?

[vlexr]

My gpu driver still Nvdia, and not vfio, any idea why?
