Re: [vfio-users] AMD and NVIDIA cards for QEMU PCI passthrough

[Bronek Kozicki]

Actually with OVMF (rather than legacy BIOS and VGA) this should "just" work, assuming the card reset is working properly . It is not for most AMD cards, but for nVidia it should. The small complication here is that some guest OS-es do not allow straightforward installation on OVMF (eg Windows 7 and some Linux distributions, from my experience) B.

My CPU doesn't have an integrated GPU so I bought AMD for use with the host system and I'd like to use NVIDIA card on the guest. My question is: can I use NVIDIA on the "host" when I'm not running the VM? NVIDIA is my main card and I'd prefer if AMD took over only when I'm passing the other to the VM.
