GPU Passthrough on NUC (Windows 10 VM)?

Hi all,

I have an Intel NUC running Proxmox 6.3-2 and I am trying to spin up a Windows 10 VM. Based on my research so far, it looks like I need to enable GPU passthrough if I want the Windows 10 VM to take advantage of the system's GPU. But this would effectively lock the GPU to that single Windows VM. Since I'm using a NUC with an integrated graphics card, I imagine this may present other issues.

Would it be better to just get a dedicated system to run Windows 10 or is there a way to make this work effectively?

depending on the cpu, you may be able to use gvt-g ? it's a way to split the igpu into multiple 'virtual gpus' that still provide some acceleration features, but without display output (just remove protocols like rdp)

Thanks for the heads up on this! Is there some documentation I can follow as a relative-beginner in Proxmox? I found the following on the Proxmox Wiki, but it appears to reference several steps without much detail:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI(e)_Passthrough#_mediated_devices_vgpu_gvt_g
 
there is: https://github.com/intel/gvt-linux/wiki/GVTg_Setup_Guide

which is the 'generic' gvt-g guide
the relevant infos there are the kernel commandline changes, all other things should be explained in our reference docs (those are also mentions in our docs)
if you have specific questions, just ask
