Single GPU Passthrough Tutorial - KVM/VFIO

The world's first and world's best video tutorial on single gpu passthrough. Play video games in a Windows VM running on Linux# LINKS #Discord Invite: https:...

I’ve been wanting to make a proper switch over to Linux for a while now. I’ve currently have a dual-boot setup but still mostly use Windows. The majority of my games should work without fuss, but I’d like to have a simple solution for running the handful of things that don’t work in Linux, such as my WMR VR headset and a handful of Steam games.

Linked is a video on Single GPU passthrough with KVM/VFIO, which I’d like to try.

Before I try this, I’d like a sense of how likely it is to work, and I’m wondering if there might be a better solution I don’t know of. I’m also open to any tips you might have about speeding up the transition between Host/Guest OS.

Here are the specs of my machine:

Motherboard: MSI B550 A-Pro

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (no integrated graphics)

GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070

RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz

Host OS: Manjaro

Guest OS: Windows 10 Pro

    I have almost the same setup hardware wise. I got an RX550 GPU for the host, or sub in any cheap graphics card. If you have the spare slot and lanes its much nicer of an experience to have 2 GPUs. Plug a dummy plug into the guest GPU with looking glass set up and its great! :)
