Hello,
here are the specs of my home lab:
-i7-2600
-16GB RAM
-Biostar Hi-Fi H77z
I have 2 GPUs:
-AMD 7970
-nVidia 770
I am trying to passthrough either of them to a VM to use in gaming, yet I keep failing
The Windows 7 VM detects the GPUs after installing their drivers but can not use them.
I installed GPU-Z which sees the GPU but shows Frequency as 0 and games do not run claiming the GPU can not be initialized
Here is what I tried,
- I used 4GB of memory to the VM and reserved 8 GB.
- Reinstalled the OS/drivers multiple times.
- Switched between the GPUs (AMD and nVidia)
- Disabled and uninstalled the sVGA driver.
- Passed through the HDMI audio for each card respectively.
Edit: My primary display is hooked to the integrated mobo gpu.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

under PCI devices make sure you pass through all PCI devices on the motherboard. That helped for me and i disabled the sVGA adapter in Windows
