Unclear which graphics cards are supported #8

Closed verslyap closed 9 years ago

I've read some conflicting reports as I've research this on Google. Are any graphics cards driven by i915 supported? Or just Iris Pros? Could this be made explicit somewhere?

Hi verslyap, currently Intel GVT-g supports 4th generation core processor graphics, for we tech guys, that means the Haswell processor.\

Are any graphics cards driven by i915 supported? No. at least not now.

I just want to make sure I understand. Any Haswell processor will be able to virtualize an intel GPU in XEN?

When you say "No. at least not now" does that mean Haswell processors can only virtualize some intel GPUs? If so which ones?

l1viathan commented 9 years ago

Theoretically, any Haswell CPU(hence the on-die GPU) should be supported by XenGT project. However, FWIW, we have verified these models: i5-4670T, i7-4950HQ, i7-4700HQ, i7-4770, i7-4650U.
