Hi all,
I have all AMD and I wanted to try and set the integrated GPU for passthrough for VMs and leave the discrete one for my daily use. Is this doable? If so, how complicated would it be?
Processor: Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon vega integrated graphics card
GPU AMD RX 6600.
Thank you

    So I did follow a tutorial earlier and I think I got something going. One thing the tutorial didn’t mention is plugging one of the monitors into the motherboard’s HDMI. That’s why I only had one monitor when I did it? 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Probably, if everything else is correct. GPU passthrough hands over an entire GPU to the virtual machine, so the only way of getting the output of that vm is plugging a monitor in that GPU

        Makes sense. Thank you. I’ll mess with it more and see what I can come up with.

            Hold on, what? So this is just something you download and run? I’ve never heard of this thing, in case this question sounds stupid. Lol

              You would still need to pass the GPU through to the VM, but this can eliminate the need to plug the GPU output into another device or use a dedicated monitor.

              I have never used it, but I know it is pretty common.

                I checked their site and the Linux version of their app, according to them, is basically “use at your own risk”. Not fully functional nor heavily tested.
