I ordered a card with the via chipset for testing which resulted in various serious probs with certain USB devices: in particular my Rode USB NT didn’t work with it at all (apps trying to use it hang, other sound apps - even windows settings - hang even if not directly accessing the mic but in...

Well, with NVIDIA you COULD employ streaming via GeForce Experience on the host (works e.g. with Quadro P400 as well as all consumer cards I could grab) - works quite well also via VPN and up to WQHD resolutions. However, it’s a bit more tricky to set up initially, needs a locally logged-in user...

Without significant tweaking I guess the GPU won’t be used for remote visuals - with the possible exception of dedicated tasks like GPU rendering in editing software (but still no benefit for remote connections). What you most likely need is a more efficient transfer over the network...

Only had that connect/disconnect with one USB device (Logitech mouse) - so it might go away with the Via chipset? Will give it a try!

I use cards with Renesas (formerly NEC) chipsets.

This happens to me too. It’s annoying but try switching Passthrough on once you got one (or more) entries of the 1660 and reboot. After reboot all devices relating to the 1660 should be in passthrough mode. Very annoying but no deal breaker. Alternatively, edit/etc/vmware/esx.conf and change...

Hmm. I have only experience with Windows VMs regarding GPU passthrough. You could try editing passthru.map and for the NVIDIA entry (10de ffff...) change „bridge“ to „link“ or „d3d0“. For Windows as guest OS that’s not required on my 6.5 host for a P400 - but from my experience everything...

Have you tried in advanced settings "pciPassthru0.msiEnabled = FALSE"? In case you have more than one passthrough'ed device, be sure that the number ("0" behind "pciPassthru") matches the ID of your GPU. Also, that expression above "hypervisor.cpuid.fv0" is incorrect. It must read...

Whopsie, sorry my bad.

Once you‘ve set everything up and are sure it’s working, I‘d try setting svga.present=FALSE in the advanced VM settings. This disables the virtual GPU and making you dedicated Passthrough GPU the only one (with the dummy as the default and only display). You will loose the ESXi Web-Console but...

No, RDP and game stream are incompatible, i.e. game stream crashes when you log in via RDP, regardless of dummy attached or not. Will only work again after restart (of the VM). I know because I have a dummy attached. ;) Also, game stream only works, if a) a user is logged in and b) the...

Works for me with a P400 and Moonlight client. You need to install GeForce Experience manually/separately as it is not included in the Quadro driver package.

Tell me about it. Been tinkering with it for years. Currently game in a VM on a 3960X with a 2080Ti passthroughed and have a friend streaming in parallel from another VM with a TitanXp passthroughed on the same rig. It’s just amazing what you can do even with totally unsupported consumer...

@mbosma: yes, Error 43 (or a total crash of the VM at VM-boot) is the usual behaviour if one of the settings (advanced setting like msi or in passthru.map) is not correct. From my experience, passthru.map and hyerpvisor.cpuid.v0=false primarily determine whether the VM boots (and reboots)...

Note: MSI disabled is no longer required for 2080Ti cards (possibly also other Turing based GPUs). Sometimes you also have to tinker with passthru.map. All those settings depend on the plattform (CPU/Chipset) as well as the GPU, also the specific Mainboard/BIOS may have an impact.

USB indeed seems to be a bit tricky. I have only experience with NEC/Renesas chipsets (avoiding asmedia where I can). Have so far three of those in various boxes. Have just now ordered a 4-in-one Startech PEXUSB3S44V, again with NEC/Renesas, would be great to have that power up to 4 VMs while...

I had a TR built running for a couple of months without issues with a seasonic 850W titanium PSU and GPU 2080Ti on X399D8A and 1920X, though except for USB3 Host Card no further devices. What’s your Mainboard? Recently tinkered with two TitanXp in that rig, ran only a couple of days but again...

Nevermind. Figured it out. 8 Threadripper 3960x Cores with passthrough'ed USB3-Controller (Renesas) and 2080Ti. Yeah baby. Coming up next: on same host Game-Streaming-VM with TitanXp.

Has anyone managed to get ESXi working with a NVIDIA GPU passthrough‘ed to a Windows VM on a AMD TRX40 / Threadripper 3000 Plattform? I have tried everything that worked on other platforms with the same 2080Ti (i7-7700K, TR1920X, Xeon 4108) and haven’t found anything anywhere yet in this...

I struggled as well with certain NVIDIA cards. In one system I gave up and passthrough‘ed an USB-soundcard instead (Quadro P400), in another (2080Ti) I manually set the pcie-reset mode in passthru.map to d3d0 specifically for the audio device. The last requires quite some trial and error, do...
