I am using PROXMOX 7.1-8 on HP ProDesk 600 G3 with i7-6700 Intel Procesor
After installation I enabled Virtualization options: VT-x VT-d in BIOS,
I follow steps from https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/b5xpua/the_ultimate_beginners_guide_to_gpu_passthrough/

...Grub, Modules, remapping, blacklisting, adding GPU to VFIO & many restarts...

I have:
dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU
[ 0.009079] ACPI: DMAR 0x000000009BFBE000 0000A8 (v01 INTEL KBL 00000001 INTL 00000001)

but nothing in directory /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/

Configured VM when starting said: Error: cannot prepare PCI pass-through, IOMMU not present
 
Problem Solved, Differences beetween grub and systemd
Could you describe what those differences were? I'm having the same problem on a HP ProDesk 400 G3.

Edit: Never mind. I figured out what you meant. The official documentation on PCI passthrough focuses on systems that boot with grub. Mine, like yours, boots with systemd boot. So the intel_iommu=on needs to be added to the first line of /etc/kernel/cmdline.
