Screen freezes in TianoCore Boot Screen

Operating Systems & Open Source Virtualization

Hi everyone,

I was about to setup a Windows 10 VM on a Manjaro Host following the instructions from the ArchWiki like I always do. While I was able to setup Windows 10 without GPU passthrough as soon as I add the GPU to the PCI devices and try to boot the screen freezes on the first screen where the TianoCore logo (UEFI firmware) appears and after which Windows should load.

Mainboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro
GPU: Powercolor 5700XT

I recently did a BIOS update on my Gigabyte Aorus Pro but I connot imagine that thats the cause.

Any ideas or people with the same problem?

I managed to get Windows started.

It seems the AMD Windows driver: Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.5.1 Optional makes problems
with version: Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.4.2 Recommended (WHQL) I am able to start the VM.
