1GPU to make 6+VM's

[nadaleh]

My goal is to make more than one VM's and passtrough Video Card to few Virtual Machines so they look like normal PC, i manage to make this with my current video card but at one time i can only run 1virtual machine , and while virtual machine is ON i can't run another , when i search google it says i can buy Arc Pro video Card and in BIOS turn-on function that allow this , and google says another way is rtx 30 and 40 series with gpu_unlock , can someone who alrdy use this give me advice what is better to buy > Arc Pro b50 or RTX 30Series

thx in advance

One small thing to know (same as almost all vGPU/SR-IOV setups): the physical HDMI/DP ports cant be used in the VM's. You’ll access the VMs via Parsec, Moonlight, Looking Glass, or RDP/SPICE. The VMs themselves still see a full normal GPU inside Windows. They just can't display on the monitors. Unlike when you are just passing a single GPU.

Get the Intel Arc Pro B50 (16 GB version). It is clearly the better choice over RTX 30/40-series + vGPU unlock for your exact goal (multiple VMs running at the same time, each seeing a normal dedicated GPU).
Why is the B50 better on Proxmox 9 right now?

• Native SR-IOV support (official Intel feature, no community cracks).
• Much cleaner & more stable than NVIDIA consumer unlock.
• No NVIDIA driver breakage on updates.
• Low power (70 W), cheap (~$340–370), small form factor.
• Users are running 4–8 VMs simultaneously with full hardware acceleration (Windows + Linux guests).

RTX 30/40 vGPU unlock does work now, but it still needs constant patching, driver version pinning, and has higher chance of breaking after updates. The B50 is simply less hassle on Proxmox 9.
