Then VT-d is not enabled in your motherboard BIOS or not supported by either the motherboard or CPU. Please double check your BIOS and make sure both VT-x (hardware virtualization support) and VT-d (IOMMU support) are enabled.

EDIT: Intel X79 and E5-2690v2 support VT-d. I can only conclude that VT-d is not enabled by the motherboard BIOS.
