Hello! need help with a gpu passthrough, today I got an old gpu for real cheap, a XFX R7700 1GB (the HD series one, NOT to be confused with the RX series!), so far I've able to block kernel modules and bind it to VFIO, kernel loaded shows vfio fine, my server is currently a FX 8350 + GT 1030 used for proxmox output and this new R7700 for testing stuff
This gpu does NOT have UEFI support, so I had to enable CSM in my bios to make it work, according to some research i did, there's some tools to make it uefi compatible and looks like there's a uefi bios, but it's not the same model, i got the tools in case there's a bad flash
So far, passthrough works ONLY with linux machines, I've tested it with ZorinOS and works great, but with Windows 10, RIP, nothing shows up
ZorinOS VM works fine with q35 + OVMF (UEFI) oddly, I tried using i440fx + BIOS in a new VM with the R7700, same issue
I also had a similar issue with a 1080 Ti (which I do not have this installed in my server atm), which oddly worked with Linux machines only but not Windows, this gpu is currently stored in a box, I will also upgrade my homelab later to ryzen or xeon, idk
Any suggestions or does anyone know what could be wrong? Cheers!
