Win 10 GTX 960 Gpu Passthrough Crash

[genboota]

Hi,

I have tried multiple guides with 3 different versions of Proxmox going as back as 6.4-1. As soon as I add the PCI device and start VM, it crashes the host. I'm currently on 6.4-1

Also tried to dumped rom files etc.

Used this: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/b5xpua/the_ultimate_beginners_guide_to_gpu_passthrough/



My build
Gigabyte H87
i5 4670
GTX 960 2GB
8GB Ram

Thanks in advance

 

[dcsapak]

can you post your iommu groups and the output of 'lspci -nnk' ?

Maybe the host won't crash if you give the vm a little less RAM, when you only have 8GB available.

When a VM uses PCI passthrough, all its memory needs to be pinned into actual RAM (because of possible Direct Memory Access initiated by the PCI device). Therefore, giving it 100% of your RAM won't work. Try to set the VM to 2048MB and see if that helps. Also make sure to boot the Proxmox host using the integrated CPU graphics.
