Proxmox as an Ultimate Desktop Setup ( Dual Gpu Pass )

[rifaterdemsahin]

I would suggest not using Primary GPU (x-vga=1) with AMD GPUs. You might want to enable the virt-ssbd and hv-tlbflush CPU flags for Windows. Also, replace emulated devices such as IDE, SATA and RTL8139 with virtio devices and install all Windows VirtIO drivers version 0.1.215 (0.1.217 is broken). Also, VirtIO SCSI disks supports more features then VirIO disks. As far as I know, there is no reason to use more than 1 socket for your VMs or does Threadripper expose NUMA (in which case you can to enable NUMA in the VM and use as many sockets as actual NUMA partitions on the host).
Anyway, what was your question in your last post?

When the computer starts the 2 vms go online with no issue.

When i turn off the Radeon machine and try to restart it does not work and throws this error
And it does not turn on as well.

swtpm_setup: Not overwriting existing state file.
kvm: ../hw/pci/pci.c:1484: pci_irq_handler: Assertion `0 <= irq_num && irq_num < PCI_NUM_PINS' failed.

Without the primary gpu setting
Radeon7 turns on
6900 xt turns on

After primary gpu setting turned off from both gpus
The 6900 xt can restart but multi screen system only works with one monitor
Radeon 7 can not even restart


It might not be related to this so the system only turns on properly from the workstation reboot now

I can only set the radeon 7 as none primary.
Xt6900 needs it to activate 4 monitors

Enabled the cpu flags and there is no issue starting up.

0.1.215 drivers are getting installed as i need them for video editing

I am installing blue and black lion on adobe premiere one of them will work video edit timeline the other will focus on rendering output(radeon 7)

Why do you think 0.1.217 is broken? What problems do you got with it?

Why do you think 0.1.217 is broken? What problems do you got with it?

Because of this thread here and the various bug reports it refers to.

 

[rifaterdemsahin]

I was also unable to load it.

Using the "Machine: pc-q35-6.2" did the trick for me. Thanks!

I'm curious if anyone is actually using proxmox with all the typical dedicated stuff required for a podcast environment like ATEM mini, multiple cameras, audio mixer etc... and actually have been using it a while. This has real benefits for cloning a system you want to have in multiple locations but I don't want to go down this rabbit hole if it's not tried and true / battle tested. Not enough time for the trial by fire

Go for it. It's possible. Device passthrough is very stable. GPU, PCI controllers etc. You just need a good motherboard with good iommu groups.

Not so sure about the audio quality. The HDMI audio output of my PCIe passthroughed GPU got crackling noises while the image quality is perfectly fine. I guess you simply have to test it with your hardware.
