I'm not saying that AMD and/or Intel aren't supported (well, I haven't seen a discreet Intel GPU yet). However, many AMD GPUs come with the reset bug that needs special attention. I was going to...

Nvidia GTX 970 GPU for the guest. For the host its a Nvidia Quadro 2000 (quite old, but I found an UEFI BIOS for it).
I won't touch any AMD GPU until the function level reset problem is fixed for...
I did some Passmark 9.0 and 10 benchmarks. The Passmark 10 benchmark is here: https://www.passmark.com/baselines/V10/display.php?id=121254753319
I have not done any gaming on it, yet. All I can...
I just finished a new tutorial on GPU passthrough (VFIO as they often call it nowadays). This time I used the Virtual Machine Manager GUI to do the basic configuration, then edited the XML.
Who is...
Sorry for the late reply. I have been using Xen until late 2015. I'm currently using kvm on Linux Mint 19.1, which is Ubuntu 18.04 based.
If it's only configuring the network bridge, you could use...
Unfortunately libvirt / virt-manager make the debugging process unnecessary complicated.
See if the following helps: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/69373-graphics-card-reset-issue-amd/

@T.J. - yes, I think we met before on the web. I would definitely love you to share information.
About performance of a Windows or Linux VM: I've run probably hundreds of benchmarks with different...
When you use KVM, it is actually better to use UEFI for the VM if your graphics card supports it - see Intel IGD and arbitration bug (my summary).
I've tried virt-manager several times and...
I can't help with VirtualBox, but perhaps "another virtual machine software".
As TheFu pointed out earlier, you might want to use kvm as hypervisor and run your Windows machine on kvm (Kernel...
Windows gaming VM / GPU passthrough tutorial
"The Virtualisation Mega-Thread" sticky on the top of this forum seems a little outdated (2008).
I've written a tutorial on how to install Windows 10 as a virtual machine on Ubuntu / Linux Mint...
Ran into a problem with the Brother MFC-L2700DN - Simple Scan wouldn't recognize the scanner. The printer worked fine, though. As suggested earlier here, all it needed was a link:
sudo ln -s...
With that out of the way, I believe the problem is a misconfiguration in virt-manager / virsh. My guess is that the Nvidia driver detects kvm and quits with an error 43. If I remember correctly, you...
The big question is: Is your Dell XPS a laptop or a regular PC. Laptops with Nvidia cards often use Optimus technology that won't let you do VGA passthrough. Your laptop or PC would need to have...
In order to do 3D graphics, you'd need to have GPU acceleration in your VM. To get GPU acceleration, you can use a dedicated GPU for your VM. The problem is that you can't really remote that output,...
Allow me to add my 2C worth of confusion. I was reading through the thread and, at first sight, your configuration looks OK (man I hate xml).
I've written a how-to on getting VGA passthrough work...
This isn't much to go on. It might be good to learn about your hardware, and see the config file for the VM. To be honest, I much prefer the simplicity of the qemu-system... command compared to...
You need to make sure that the Ubuntu firewall doesn't block Samba traffic. Also, you need to look at the network settings of Virtualbox to see how the VM is connected to the network. If it's a...
I agree with halogen2 on points 1 and 2, but you really don't need ClamAV, unless you plan to share files you received via your Windows VM with other Windows users.
The point I like to make is...
So have you looked at Samba server as an option?
For one thing I assume the Network Manager - if available - has been disabled (I'm currently on Linux Mint, which is based on Ubuntu), else the /etc/network/interfaces file won't be evaluated.
In...
I'm not very familiar with VB, but IIRC you can share quite easily between host and guest by creating a shared folder on the host. But since you asked about sharing a folder on the guest, have you...
@TJ: Time flies but I feel your last post deserves a reply.
1. UEFI vs. Seabios: I guess it depends on what you've got. If one tries to pass through an old GPU that doesn't support UEFI and can't...
You need to add the following option to your qemu-system-x86_64 command:

softdep nouveau pre: vfio-pci -- this is new to me. Thanks!
I saw that unless nouveau is the culprit, nouveau should be replaced with the name of the Nvidia module that binds to the graphics card....
1. I'm totally flattered being called a "guru". I'd rather call myself an ordinary user with a purpose who doesn't give up easily. About 5 years I started on my quest to get Windows running in a VM...
