I run a Windows 11 VM on xcp-ng to do testing and Windows specific graphic and video work. I use an old R9 390 in passthrough mode right now but it’s running out of steam.
I’m particularly interested in the A380 series of gpus as they have a lot of the modern compute and video encoding features for around $100.
Before I pull the trigger I just wanted to know if anyone has had much experience with ARC GPUs in a VM passthrough scenario. I see in their official docs that resizable BAR is a requirement and I didn’t know whether that is handled properly in a virtual environment or on XCP-NG specifically.
Any experience you’re willing to share would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
That’s pretty exciting, for sure. Given that you can get single slot coolers for the half height variant makes it incredibly versatile. Hopefully that trend continues.
