Over the last few years I have been thinking of changing my CPU from 5600x to one with integrated graphics. See my original post

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/5600x-5600g-upgrade.150982/#post-682993

There were some considerations there, power, pcie lanes, etc

Over the last couple of years, the use cases for gpu acceleration in my VMs/LXC have expanded...And it also seems like virtio-gl has come on some what.
With virtual machine manager, and qemu (haven't done this in Proxmox) for instance, I can run some games and even stream them using the hosts discreet GPU.

So my question is this....Can I do the same in Proxmox? Can I accelerate my Linux VMS and LXC with a single host iGPU (5600g, 5700g)

This would be really nice for transcoding...Ollama...Desktop performance, etc etc. I am unsure how viable this is though. I believe this is possible with SRIOV and the new intel cards, but...These are currently expensive and power hungry

Any inputs welcome! Cheers in advance
