I am trying to get a proxmox box to pass through the integrated intel hdmi out from a windows 10 vm. This system is a i7 3770 with Intel 4000 graphics, which is all I'll need. Its a Asus motherboard with hdmi out. So the goal is to have a win10 vm and it use the hdmi output to a dedicated monitor...

I have found several guides and tutorials, all a little different, none specifically for this chip (i7 3770).

among others. All the commands and pci listings vary slightly. This graphics is shown as

so it registers as 8086:0162
and the audio is in a separate iommu group

graphics in group 2 and audio in group 6... I don't know what any of this means, and I really need some help if this is even possible.
I want to have the hdmi of the proxmox display the windows 10 vm to a dedicated monitor.

Help me please.
 
I have tried hours of experimenting and countless guides, which all basically have the same information with reports of varying success within them.

I can get the igpu pass thru to the windows vm, which see's it, and shows error 43 in device manager. Trying to install the intel graphics drivers fails, and windows 10 search for drivers BSOD so never can get the intel graphics "installed" and no monitor output on hdmi. I get a flicker sometimes, but never more.

Any help?

PCI passthrough of integrated graphics is more problematic than discrete GPUs. Unless you find a guide with the exact same CPU, I don't know how to get it working, sorry.

@Phone Guy
did you managed the Passthrough?
I am struggeling since 1,5 yrs without effort.
Tested many things.
I also only get a flicker and not more
Thx

Nope. I ended up buying a graphics card, and it worked first try. Some people have said igpu pass through only works on certain cpu & mobo combinations. Personally I gave up, bought a cheap gt1030 graphics card and it just worked instantly. Ymmv, so good luck.

The Intel gpu Express requires the Intel 6th generation processor. At least I have seen the 4th generation processor

Okay, thanx

I was sure I read something about it was possible with a 3rd gen cpu and proxmox 5.x
So I was sure it MUST work with newer Proxmox and some fiddling.
At the end I gave up and put a Geforce 1050 into the machine and passed it without any problem into the VM.
After disabling the IGP the power consumtion is not really more in idle.

Thx
Dirk
