GPU In Virtual Machine

Unfortunately to this works you will need a secondary gpu, integrated counts as gpu

  • go to BIOS in your system
  • enable virtualization
  • enable IOMMU

Get the GPU id and GPU audio id, find than and save it

  • lspci -nn / NVIDIA simple: lspci -nn | grep "NVIDIA"

ID Example

[0030]: NVIDIA Corporation GP102 [GeForce GTX 1080 Ti] [10de:1b06] <-- this is the graphics id
[0030]: NVIDIA Corporation GP102 HDMI Audio Controller [10de:10ef] <-- this is the audio id

Enabling IOMMU in grub

  • sudo vim /etc/default/grub
#AMD for AMD intel for intel..., change the id by the one you get from previous section
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="amd/intel_iommu=on vfio-pci.ids=graphicsId,audioId"
  • sudo update-grub
  • reboot

Now pickup the id from your integrated gpu or secondary gpu Add the ids in vfio

  • sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf
options vfio-pci ids=graphicsId,audioId

Finish
