I found this https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000058558/graphics.html

GVT-g technology is not supported. The 11th Generation of Intel® Core Processors works with SR-IOV (Single Root IO Virtualization), that is a new virtualization feature supported in hardware starting from Intel® Iris® Xe and in some of our discrete cards. Gen9 (i.e. Graphics powering 6th through 9th generation Intel processors) is the last generation of the software-based vGPU solution GVT-G (Intel® Graphics Virtualization Technology –g).

Except Xe graphics are only found in BGA chips last time I checked. So anyone using a socketed chip in a workstation or server is basically being given the middle finger here.

rocket lake only support GVT-d.

I've spent the better part of the last 2 days trying to get GVT-d to work and haven't. And from what I've seen spending hours on the internet, no one else has either so this isn't a viable alternative. And no, the guide you have on the wiki here doesn't do anything other than waste my time compiling things like QEMU and the kernel from scratch just to get the same results.

Looks like I'm going to be returning the CPU and mobo I just bought and look at getting an Nvidia GPU to use NVENC instead.

I have spent almost 4 months getting it to work. For me it seems like it's the PCH (chipset) that is causing it ( I am on Comet lake but using a b560 chipset apperantly z490 works) the closest I ever got was during the windows install with seabios and q35 I got some pink flickering(no real data) on the monitor then it black screened on a reboot
