3½ years ago I plugged a Radeon RX480 into a Hyper-V Server 2016 host, installed it using the standard driver package, and passed the card to a VM using DDA. It was all seamless and I could benchmark the card within the VM at pretty much baremetal performance - happy days.
But that was just to test it out - with tests complete, the card was then sold (for a decent markup due to mining insanity) - I had it in the server for all of about a week. I recently found an RX580 sitting on my desk, so I decided to plug it into my Hyper-V server to boost the lagginess of one of my workhorse VMs, but was saddened to discover that AMD seem to have killed off any ability to run a consumer Radeon card in a Windows Server OS. Not that there was ever official support for it anyway, but they seem to have gone out of their way to kill it.
So I thought I'd come on here to see if anyone is familiar with this, if anyone has played around with it and has a consumer Radeon card running with either Windows Server 2016 or 2019? I don't care if you have experience with Hyper-V and DDA, that's not important - the only important thing is whether you've managed to get a non-Pro Radeon card working with a Windows Server OS - if I can get the drivers loaded and the card addressable I can do the rest quite happily... It's getting the damned thing registered and working in the first place that's the problem!
