Cheap SR-IOV for tests

[mskarbek]

Hi, I need a relatively cheap GPU with SR-IOV that will work with Wayland - wlroots to be specific so no Nvidia. Is used FirePro S7150 still the only option? Instinct MI6 seems to not exist on the market.

Instinct MI6

Seems like vaporware to me as well. I don’t think you’ll be able to get your hands on one.

S7150 is your best bet from what I can tell.

Nvidia is still off limits, so I think that or maybe Intels rumored GPU would be your only options. Not sure about SR-IOV support on the intel dGPU though.

And support for it sucks with KVM, like REALLY sucks.

Read through this thread:

SR-IOV GPU for Compute/Transcode Purposes

Does anyone know of any professional cards that within a reasonable budget that I could use between a few VM’s? My end goal is to share it between my jellyfin vm for better hardware transcoding and my f@h for better gpu compute. It would need to be limited to 1 slot in thickness due to it going into the 1U server ( ProLiant DL325 Gen10). I might be able to get away with a 2 slot but it would be choked. I’m trying to steer towards the low end of things because there are no dedicated power cables besides the pice slot. Or would it be better to get a thunderbolt dock as pass that through to the VM?
