Forgive me as I am fairly new to this. Relatively tech savvy, but this is not my area of experience at all.

I have proxmox installed on a Beelink mini PC which has N95 CPU with integrated graphics.

I have a couple of VMs currently, and I want one to be able to use the HDMI out (for what it's worth, the mini PC has two HDMI output). Right now HDMI out is just showing the proxmox console.

I've come across a few mentions of GPU passthrough but different situations and different answers and most not possible for me to follow :)

Could anyone help me get my iGPU or at least the dedicated display output to be used by a specific VM?

Thank you!
 
General guide is here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI_Passthrough

But passing through iGPUs is often not easy. Also keep in mind that your host will lose the GPU, so no console anymore in case you need to fix stuff from CLI (for example then the NIC gets renamed so you can't ssh into the host anymore).

Best you search the forum for something like "N95 iGPU passthrough"and dig through posts like this: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/intel-n95-problems-with-ethernet-and-gpu-driver.129820/post-582206
