I wonder if anyone else is using Quadro M5000 ; I pulled the trigged on two for my workstation and they work reliably with vfio pass-through (yay, finally no reset issues!), but one thing is missing and I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

Windows does boot, GPU works well and the drivers report the card exactly as expected, picture quality and performance is excellent as expected, however Windows boot screen is not displayed. The first screen displayed by passed-through GPU after boot is Windows 7 blue logon screen. When I switched my Windows to the new card, I had to put "<rom bar='off'/>" in libvirt device definition, because otherwise it would not boot.

FWIW, I am using experimental x-vga=on setup with regular BIOS. I tried installing a new OS with OVMF and vfio passthrough, but so far unsuccessfully. My OVMF machines work with spice, only vfio part does not seem to work for me. However I have not spent much time trying vfio with OVMF with this card yet.
