Hi everyone, I recently install Proxmox to my server. Everything was running fine when I decided to passthrough pcie.
I currently have 2 vms. Running CentOS-8 and Windows 10. I tried to passthrough the nic (Intel I210) to CentOS-8 and GPU to Windows 10. It runs fine when i start only one of the vm but when i start both of the vm, the host network latency will go up and finally crash. I found that if i passthrough both nic and gpu to the same vm, which i am currently doing, the host runs perfectly fine. Below are some of the information of my system.
