I am currently using dual boot (win10, ubuntu 16.10) but this seems very promising. Actually I keep windows only for 2-3 games and this would be very helpful..
My setup is: Intel 4790k, Asus Z97-A EVGA GeForce 970gtx GSkill 16 GB
Is it possible to support this for high performance games (like NBA 2k17)? I do not have a spare GPU. And something else, If I use my CPU graphics when the VM is running with the 970, which graphics are there going to be used when the VM is not been used? The CPU's or the GPU's??
With the current limitations, you'll be using the cpu-integrated GPU 100% of the time, since you detach the 970 from the Linux drivers. That said, I've heard of people hot-swapping the GPU.
depends on what you're doing. if you want to game on the host and the guest, then you need 2 gpus. if not, no harm, no foul. If you do go the 2 gpu route, get an AMD card for the guest and keep the 970 on the host, because having the same card or cards from the same vendor can have you running into gotchas, and nvidia support (at present) is better in linux if you don't care about using closed drivers. I use a 1070 in my host system and a fury in my guest, for example.
I have gotten thru the guide but at the part where you suppose to start the VM after removing all the video splice, etc, I keep running into this error:

So changed some settings and seem to be getting this now?

i'm having trouble with the $ patch -p1 < [acs patch location here] I keep getting the errors can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was:
and when i provide the patch it says : File to patch: '/home/name/Downloads/acs-patch-4.7.patch' '/home/name/Downloads/acs-patch-4.7.patch' : No such file or directory Skip this patch? [y]
I have this working on Ubuntu 16.10 with 1 last hoop to jump through and 1 limitation.
I can't get sound quality to be acceptable on a Win10 x64 guest. I tried with ICH6, ICH9, MSI interrupts, bluetooth sound (passing adapter through to vm), USB sound (tried passing through device as well as host controller), and passing guest sound through to pulseaudio, but I'm still having huge latency and distortion issues.
Final trick will be to install a PCI sound card and pass that through to the host. If that does not work, I'm pausing this for now as gaming makes no sense this way. Sound over DP is not an option, my screen doesn't have audio out.
"Fun" fact/limitation: AppArmor did not play nice with USB passthrough, so I removed it for now. If I get sound figured out I'll set this up passing through the USB host controller, and re-enable apparmor.
i had try it via pci sound card a while back and it did work well for me now im currently redoing my kvm set up in Debian stretch with kernel 4.9.0 i might also add a usb pci card to my set up.
thanks that worked, now its running into problems running the " make -j4 deb-pkg " command errors: scripts/package/Makefile:91: recipe for target 'deb-pkg' failed make[1]: *** [deb-pkg] Error 2 Makefile:1346: recipe for target 'deb-pkg' failed make: *** [deb-pkg] Error 2
That not the error just like @GrayBoltWolf said to me earlier in this thread it just mean the entire built fail the error is further up the output. If your having the same error i had it related to a certificate. i comment out the following to fix it in the ACS patch:
any idea why it might crash when i start the vm? the gpu fans spin up. then slow down and then spin up once more, then it says the vm has crashed. link to log file: http://pastebin.com/6GSkaBgd it seems that qemu 2.8 has problems when you pass through usb devices. removing these causes the vm to boot. now I just need to figure out why I don't have video.
Interesting im having the same problem if i have a usb passthrough to the vm it crash if i remove the usb passthrough it boot but can install windows. Mabie a work around could be installing a pci 1x usb controller and pass that to the windows vm if not im not sure how to install windows.
Nice work there! Just subbed for future videos but I also have a question. How are things with Windows 10 OEM Keys? If you change your mainboard or CPU (which I have done with my 7700k upgrade) the Windows OEM license expires and you have to buy a new one. Now my question is: Will the hardware change inside the KVM and will Windows recognize these changes (and disable my license) or will my mainboard and CPU show up exactly as the same one as the host system?
Hi! I have done everything same way as you in the tutorial. I am using gtx 970 and everything works flawless until the boot of VM. When i boot the wm, the installation goes straight to UEFI shell. Do you have any idea why this would be happening? Thanks for the great guide!
EDIT: i have tested it with different combinations, and now i know there is something wrong with OVMF bios. It works with normal bios (not the pci passthrough ofc) but when i change it tho OVMF it only goes to UEFI shell...
My guess is OVMF is not finding the Windows iso to boot from. You should have two disks, one being for Windows itself, mine is /var/lib/libvirt/images/win10.qcow2, this is SATA Disk 1.The other one I have is SATA CDROM 1 which points to the Windows10.iso. If I click on disconnect on the SATA drive so the Source Path points to nowhere, I can replicate your issue. Also make sure your Disk 1 and CDROM1 are both enabled under 'Boot Options'.
Hi and thanks for the quiock answer! I got the windows 10 up and running but now i have second problem. I have tried to install nvidia drivers normally through the geforce experience, and it says that it has succesfully installed the drivers, but the gtx 970 isn't working.
Device manager shows the NVIDIA gtx 970 with errorcode 43 and the "pci device" and "multimedia audio device" also with error? Any idea what's wrong with this?
EDIT: Hmm very strange. I edited my vm configuration and got the gpu working. Ten i shut down the vm and installed synergy to my debian host(not sure if this is related) But now the gpu ain't working again after i rebooted the win VM :/
