Im using a samsung 850evo sata ssd for my Manjaro boot drive and a samsung 960evo nvme for windows. The nvme controller is passed through to windows10.
I’m not sure if you ment in the vm or on the host so: Samsung Magician on windows atleast says trim is enabled. On Manjaro running fstrim works which is also on a weekly timer.
Why do you ask?
I just updated my Aorus Elite bios from f4j to f4 and my iommu groups are now terrible, my USB card is no longer in a separate group. I have iommu, acs, and pcie ari all enabled, am I missing something?
Nope, it got worse. Suggest rolling back to abb agesa for now.
Missed your reply, sorry.
Iommu on nvme can bork trim but there’s a workaround.
That’s the weird thing the f4 version is abb but my iommu groups are worse than the f4j version.
Interesting, I would guess that they also changed something in the newer f4 bios. To specify in the threads above, when talking about f4, I was revering to f4j as this was the newest f4 bios at that time. I am still running on f4j. I suggest going back to f4j. ( If you need it i still have the f4j bios file. No guarantees).
If you could give me f4j version file that would be awesome as my backup of that version didn’t seem to work.
Took this from the usb which i used to update my bios so it should work. Again no guarantees but if i have no reason to think it wouldn’t work/brick your motherboard. X570AOEL.F4j.zip (9.3 MB)
Yep, the f4j version has way better iommu groups than the newer f4. All of my pcie devices are in their own groups, thanks again for the file.
Glad it worked. Lets pray for good separation in the next bios version.
I’m currently looking for a new board for a Ryzen 7 3700X. Because I would like to do virtualization with GPU passthrough in the future I’m currently looking for a mainboard with good IOMMU groups and Intel NIC. The Gigabyte Aorus Elite looks very promising for this.
I’m currently very new to the topic IOMMU groups. Is the GPU still in it’s own group or do I’ve to pass the whole PCIe Bus with different devices to the VM? Does anybody have a dump of the IOMMU groups with the new/old firmware to compare it with other boards?
Do you have any experience with gigabyte if they will fix the IOMMU groups with a future update? What is their update policy? I’ve had board which had a tons of issue but the vendor doesn’t release any fixes for this.
The GPU usually is in its own group, sometimes together with their onboard sound chip. You don’t need to pass through the whole bus, just the card + sound.
Got the Aorus Pro and not Elite, but you may find an example useful nonetheless (older firmware). Second GPU got the HDMI sound in another group which you have to pass through together:

Is there an advantage of the pro against the elite regarding IOMMU groups or is this nearly the same firmware? I don’t expect to overclock.
The Pro got two PCIe 16x slots with their lanes connected to the CPU instead of the Southbridge. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find sufficient benchmark data back then to determine the possible performance increase in a VM passthrough scenario like this. If that isn’t a concern for you (remember that you can put the less powerful host GPU in the second slot anyway, so the guest GPU gets full performance) the Elite will probably be sufficient. 
Good news, bios f10a brings us the best iommu seperation I have seen on this board yet :O. Consider me happy. For some comparison:

For completeness, to get these groups in the f10a bios I had to change these settings:
SVM -> Enable
iommu -> Enable
ACS Enable -> Enable
Enable AER cap -> Enable (this one is new)
Edit: f10c also confirmed to be good as far as iommu groups are concerned.
Thank you sooooooooooooooo much for the information !!
Guys i just registered to say thank you also for this info. I will follow this forum closely since i see very usefull info here and knowledge people.
Really thx for this info.
I forgot to mention that i have an X570 Pro with this cards on it.
HP P440 4GB FWBC (4x4TB Sas HDD+4x1TB Samsung SSD)
HP 560T SFP+ 2x10GB Fiber
HP 81Q 8Gb 1-port PCIe FC
And im waiting a IBM ServeRAID 16-Port 6Gbps SAS-2 SATA Expansion Adapter
As you understand this info here is damn helpfull.
Guys i want to tell something to all here.
In latest Gigabyte aorus bios there is a new setting that matters Iommu grouping and is called Alternating Routing.
Since i enabled it i have much better iommu grouping and i even managed to bypass things that exist in my 3nd PCIx16 and PCIx1 slots.
This is great addition really and i am damn happy in esxi.
Folks, I’m unable to find the ACS and AER settings described above in this thread, even having tried F4, F5b, F10, F11, and F12f. What am I missing?!
I tried to link to my crosspost in r/gigabyte and r/vfio over at Reddit (subject line “Can’t find ACS/AER in UEFI settings”) but I’m not permitted to post links here.
@bluechris: Sad that you did not mentioned which bios version. I guess it was F12e? I updated from F11 to the newest F20a and could not find the Alternating Routing setting. MAybe someone else can help, or is it gone in the new bios? Taling ablout the GB Aorus Z570 Pro
