Query about host GPU #26

Closed WhatDoor closed 3 years ago

WhatDoor commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Thanks for writing up this tutorial. I am currently in the market for building a new PC, and I intend to do windows 10 virtualization and gpu passthrough on the new build.

I just wanted to know about whether a host GPU is necessary? Would it be possible to run this setup with a single GPU to be shared between host and guest?

Alternatively, could I do it with an integrated graphics processor (e.g. Ryzen 5 5600G) for the host? Would the setup be much different for this?

Thanks for your time.

An integrated graphics card would be perfect for an PCI Passthrough build! The setup for a IGPU is just the same as the normal setup.

Awesome! Thanks @IFoodstampZ!
