Hello,

I have a problem regarding GPU passthrough in Win7. The problem is that if I don't have any GPU machine boots without any issues but if I attach my GTX1060 stuck on loading screen without any errors or CPU activity. I've installed Win7 in UEFI with Secure Boot disabled. Here is my VM cfg:
Code:
