Oddity with Radeon RX 6950XT

I recently bought a Radeon RX 6950 XT switching from Nvidia GTX 1080. I have had no troubles with my Nvidia1080 and have had a fully working Windows VM but not with this Radeon card I can't seem to get it to pass through correctly.

Thank you for any tips.

Yeah still same glitched screen. I'm getting common error 43 on the card in windows, just trying to figure it out if this glitched screen at startup is normal.
 
Is the 6950XT used during boot (motherboard POST and Proxmox host console)? What kernel are you using (uname -a) andwhat is the VM configuration like (from the /etc/pve/qemu-server/ directory)? What is the output of cat /proc/cmdline? Do you early bind the GPU and/or blacklist amdgpu (i.e., how did you configure vfio-pci in /etc/modprobe.d/ directory)?

Made big progress. Finally took the time to read and understand what all the commands do.

I have no idea if I need either of the video= commands but since I have a single GPU I need to prevent Proxmox from using it.

/etc/kernel/cmdline

root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs quiet amd_iommu=on iommu=pt video=efifb:off video=simplefb:off​


nano /etc/modules

vfio​
vfio_iommu_type1​
vfio_pci​
vfio_virqfd​

/etc/modprobe.d/pve-blacklist.conf

blacklist nvidiafb​
blacklist nouveau​
blacklist nvidia​
blacklist radeon​
blacklist amdgpu​
blacklist snd_hda_intel​

The amdgpu is what fixed it. Every guide said radeon, your reply was the first I saw amdgpu. Now that I blacklisted everything properly the card shows up in the add PCI device and my boot up is no longer glitched.

Thank you for pointing my in the right direction! Like I said I had no problem passing my GTX1080.
