Nvidia on the host + Nvidia on the guest: GPU passthrough on KVM problem












0















I'll try to better explain my question:

I've successfully configured a VM with win10 that recognize my second GPU, an nvidia 1050ti while the host uses an nvidia 1060. Everything is working decently. I only have 1 problem:

loading vfio in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules like this



softdep nouveau pre: vfio vfio_pci
softdep nvidia pre: vfio vfio_pci
softdep nvidia_drm pre: vfio vfio_pci
softdep nvidia-* pre: vfio vfio_pci


along with other configurations I made in order to make all things work properly, leds my host card to not be able to use cuda core on blender anymore. Nvidia control panel on the host sees correctly my 1060, I can use it on steam and general purpose HW accelerated 3D stuffs, but I can't use Cuda on Blender no more.
I'm well aware that I'm pretending maybe too much from my hyper-raped PC, but, you know, I'd like to have all I can from it.


thanks in advance to whoever decided to take a deep dive into this uncharted path (for me at least).
