Hi everyone, I’m having a hard time to setup a gpu passthrough even though the VGA Controller named NVIDIA with the right number is there on my Ubuntu VM, let’s recap all the info

lspci -vv (BEFORE SETUP)

lspci -vv and info on the device I want to passthrough

0f:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation AD102 [GeForce RTX 4090] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Capabilities: [e00 v1] Data Link Feature <?>
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau

0f:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation AD102 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation AD102 High Definition Audio Controller
Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel

lspci inside the ubuntu VM once configured and passthrough

Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

I passed the pcie as per the doc and installed Nvidia drivers from Nvidia, no nvidia-smi available but the driver seems there, also the gpu name doesn’t appear on lspci but only the code :fearful:

If you guys have ANY clues that would be awesome, thanks in advance!

UPDATE : FIXED just disable secure boot for the passthrough vm … :slight_smile:

I looked at your hardware list and it only listed one descret graphic card. As far as I know, you need either two graphic cards, one for the VM and one for the host.

I am glad you fixed your first problem with passthough. I have the same motherbroad as you. Been saving for a Nividia 4090. As soon as I save enough for a Nividis 4090, I will build a Proxmox server. So I will be wstching your progress very carefuly.

Thank you for the update, i struggeled with this on very similar hardware. Ill try that out when i get it back up and running :call_me_hand:
