- #vgpu gpu passthrough
here is only tests, my question is how to split 1 GPU for multiple VM in proxmox
spent a whole night to risk my stable system and tested the vgpu unlock.
In short, it works.
My set up is 3900X + 128GB RAM + GTX1080 (single GPU)
So I have to use the merge driver approach
Before using vGPU my GPU is wholely passthrough to windows guest.
With vGPU set up, I need to setup desktop mode in proxmox, and pass a vgpu to windows and change it to P6000.
The performance is terrible. especially requiring setting up looking glass to obtain the frame buffer.
After 30 minutes, I start to revert back to my original setup. But I have already install too much junk in proxmox, which make the restoration extremely difficult.

Now I have tested using vGPU on 1050ti, and uses 1080 to complete passthrough to a single VM.
It runs perfectly fine but needed to make sure to use a compatible version of driver (I used 460).
Both host and client need the same version of driver for compatibility.
It tested a 2GB vRAM profile which runs GTAV fine.
