Does Proxmox VE 5.0 Beta1 support kvmgt?

that seems to require a patched linux kernel (but maybe all of it got merged in the meanwhile?) and qemu >= 2.8.. PVE 5.0 Beta is still on qemu 2.7, but that will likely change before the final release.
 
then it will probably be testable once 5.0 gets the next major qemu upgrade.

for me the information is also not conclusive

https://github.com/01org/gvt-linux/wiki/GVTg_Setup_Guide#21-operating-system-requirements

Ubuntu 16.04.1 has been fully validated as host, other Linux operating system like RHEL / Fedora are also OK.​

16.04.1 uses 4.4

GVT-g kernel: https://github.com/01org/gvt-linux/ (branch: gvt-stable-4.12)
QEMU: https://github.com/01org/igvtg-qemu (branch: stable-2.9.0)
Xen : https://github.com/01org/igvtg-xen (branch: xengt-stable-4.9)

NOTICE: For KVMGT, you also can use the current upstream Linux kernel and QEMU directly since all the enabling patches have been upstreamed.
It doenst mention what "current" means however since the kernel is in the 4.12 branch I assume its 4.12.
 
answering my own question

/etc/default/grub
add iommu_intel = on, i915.enable_gvt=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

add kvm.ignore_msrs=1 in grub or /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf
echo "options kvm ignore_msrs=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf
if you want to run gpu benchmark test

When I try to start a VM with this assigned, I get
TASK ERROR: pci device '00:02.0' has no available instances of 'i915-GVTg_V5_8'

I have a E3-1585v5 as well.
 
I'm able to select the mdev, but can't start the VM with it. I was able to get it to work after flowing a guide on Reddit, titled: Running Windows via QEMU/KVM and Intel GVT-g on Arch Linux
