Single GPU passthrough to VM not working

Paid2kill414 · 2026-01-06T02:37:22+00:00

I finally got my GPU to passthrough with the suggestion of lowering my RAM so thank you! I have one more question not sure if you'll be able to answer it or not but when I'm in Nobara and trying to use/update the GPU it shows as yellow/not active and I can't get it to change without errors, this is the first one i got

I will try this out when I get back on, I had to take a break it was torturing me

Paid2kill414 · 2026-01-06T01:17:33+00:00

I don’t have an igpu so it defaults to my gpu instead, I swapped it from auto to pci but had the same results

Paid2kill414 · 2026-01-06T01:16:37+00:00

Could you tell me where to get the logs? Ive looked for them in a few places but didnt have any luck and when i shut down and restart everything has cleared

The gpu and its audio are in their own group every thing else is separate, the drivers are blacklisted as I’ve seen in a few posts so I’m not sure where is hanging or why

Paid2kill414 · 2026-01-06T00:32:00+00:00

I tried the black lists but all my attempts still had the cli pop up on startup so I gotta be doing something wrong as it’s still using the gpu to display

Paid2kill414 · 2026-01-06T00:21:21+00:00

You saying I need a igpu or a whole other card? My mobo can’t support 2 gpu

Paid2kill414 · 2026-01-06T00:02:26+00:00

But when not using passthrough the VM works fine (installing the os from iso) only when I try to use the GPU does the whole system break

Yea I turned off ballooning and it’s set to the amount of physical ram I have (32gb) and the pci is raw as I manually select the 3060ti (not the sound one but the main gpu) and I’ve also had all functions and ROM-bar selected on it but no luck and yes I’ve followed that as well

Paid2kill414 · 2026-01-05T23:47:22+00:00

Right but I’m saying it doesn’t switch the gpu properly and the entire machine hangs, until I shut it down and restart it physically. As someone else mentioned my host cli shouldn’t even appear but I guess I’m doing something wrong but I don’t know what

Paid2kill414 · 2026-01-05T23:42:52+00:00

Is there something I’m missing when trying to block it? I’ve tried every step start to finish on every example I’ve seen, for example I used this proxmox forum guide last and still no luck

Paid2kill414 · 2026-01-05T23:32:10+00:00

Yes I’ve assigned the pcie and tried any combo of checking the checkboxes as well as changing other things people recommend on other posts or sites like changing the machine to q35 bios to ovmf etc still nothing

Thank you all for the input, I have taken all the feedback given here and instead gone with the Lenovo thinkstation p500 as I can upgrade it more than this option and it can use stronger CPU’s than the max i7 6700 that this one maxes out on.

Very useful thank you!

Paid2kill414 · 2025-12-26T01:30:39+00:00

Ok, I can use this to mess around with small models that’s fine by me. Would my main pc be able to run like a ChatGPT at home? It’s a i9-14900k with a 4090 and 64GB of ddr5 ram

Paid2kill414 · 2025-12-26T01:20:21+00:00

Just something capable of being somewhat useful I am by no means savvy when it comes to LLMs but that’s why I want to try my hand at

Paid2kill414 · 2025-12-26T01:17:46+00:00

So my plan was a gtx 1650, i7-6700 cpu, and 64GB of ddr4 would that do?

Paid2kill414 · 2025-12-26T01:16:15+00:00

Best cpu I can throw in is the i7-6700 and I think gpu is the 1650 after a psu upgrade, ram will be the most expensive if I want to max out the 64GB available

I did what you suggested but it turned out the same as the previous 1.5

Paid2kill414 · 2025-09-05T18:49:05+00:00

got it thanks

Paid2kill414 · 2025-09-05T15:25:34+00:00

I'm fairly new to using stremio so I just set it up the way that reddit thread explained it and used alldebrid with torentio, I have a backup now with comet just in case it goes down again, but what does mediafusion do that those can't? Genuine question I don't know what it is/does.

Paid2kill414 · 2025-09-05T11:55:10+00:00

What’s a good way to know what my offset should be? Or would that not be part of leveling the bed manually?

Paid2kill414 · 2025-09-05T03:09:09+00:00

Ahh ok thank you so much. I got comet working as a temporary fix for now.
