Proxmox vGPU Gaming Tutorial - Share Your GPU With Multiple VMs!

Buckle up!

But first... What am I drinking???

From Block 15 Brewing, it's the Cold Brew Stout, a 7% stout aged with cold brew coffee. This one is a pretty local affair, as B15 doesn't have a massive geographic availability.... but if you like coffee-infused beers, this is absolutely one to track down.

It's 2021. The world is a dumpster fire, but at least Crysis can run with full settings in a VM!

The limitations of the vgpu memory really starts to make the 24GB of the 3090 seem more sane.

[vonkruel]

Very clear instruction without a bunch of fluff. You've done a service to the community here.

I'm only like 10 minutes into the video but I still wish to thank you for the wonderful editing! this is how a good tutorial should be.

"Depending on your internet, this will take 2 to 5 minutes to complete."

You drastically underestimate how terrible some internet connections can be.

The keyboard game is getting pretty strong with this one.

yoo I was literally searching for this and here comes craft computing with the yt notification. TNX dude

Windows line endings would be different than the Linux line endings when performing git clone. Other than that the files would appear identical. Maybe that has something to do with the scripts not working?

[strawbemily]

cant wait for that linux with windows vm vid. thats what my setup is but i think i have it setup sub-optimally and want to see how jeff does it!

[aaronb]

This video deserves a comment for the algorithm.

This is the wildest tutorial video ever watched; very impressive, understood the whole process. I'm debating building a Windows game server or using Proxmox and passing through a video card on a Windows VM for gaming. I will not need to share resources, so the whole card will be dedicated to games. My research on the subject is mixed. Thanks for posting, looks like it required a lot of homework.

What an amazing setup. I wonder how easily you could swap GPU profiles.
I love the idea of giving a VM 12GB vGPU memory when I know im the only user, then swapping back down to 6GB when another user is going to connect.

[erusman]

Cool been waiting for this. I have had some problems enabling pcie passthrough in Proxmox. But loving Proxmox, I can run multiple Debian machines, Linux Mint... etc. Thank you!

[georgeashmore]

Git repositories can have recursive Git repositories that require a different pull command that zip may avoid

[allrack]

Any chance for an updated on PROXMOX 8 with latest nvidia drivers ?

[ozbusa]

"Ask me how I know?" .... best giggle I've had today. Love the channel and I'm so keen to get this underway

[dhanzibi]

Video we needed, hacks we deserved. This is pure awesomeness, i hope vGPU will be increasingly more used and available for all of us home tinkerers.

[JPEaglesandKatz]

Your tutorials and vids are something special... Clear and easy to follow. And I love the fact that you enable us to get the files for more easy copy/pasting!!! Keep on rocking!! :)

[Pavlogal]

Boosting the algorithm and also want to say I'm excited for the linux+windows vm and GPU-P videos!

[aliwalil]

Dude, you are awesome. I don't need doing gpu passthrough right now but your content is invaluable.
