AMD iGPU to jellyfin in promos please

It's not meaningless. There are plenty of use cases for GPU acceleration that don't involve video encoding. He showed one, and CAD software like Fusion 360 would be another. Also RDP will certainly work in those use cases for remote access and GPU acceleration works fine. I know because this is what I do as a solution for Fusion. Just because it doesn't fit your use case doesn't mean it's "meaningless".

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying GPU passthrough is useless. I use it all the time too. I am just saying that the GT 1030 is kind of limited in its capabilities due to the lack of a hardware encoder. Of course, if the use case does not need a hardware encoder, it works fine.

​@@vng I'm not sure if there's widespread support for encoder acceleration on vms as well. For too many gpus. This is v gpu or just gpu accelerated vm and not the entire pcie pass through right?

There's very little overhead in this case at least for the GPU, as it is passed fully through to the VM and the host cannot use only the VM

Why do you need to have keyboard and nice plugged into your host?

@@jothain I would need them there cause I am going to passthrough my gpu

@@jensg.5256 KVM is only possibility

​@@jothain I think this gpu passthrough method lets you use the gpu for your vm without losing control/use of it on the host os. Thus, mah guy probably wants less clutter, and simultaneously switch between the oses or host os to vm on the go for different tasks. Wtihout having to have a bajillion keyboard and mice.

@@yasirrakhurrafat1142 No, actual passthrough isn't possible. It's stated in video. PCI card disables onboard graphics so you can't passthrough GPU. Virtualized graphics is completely different thing.

Igpu can't be passed through due to firmware limitations, the physical wiring in the circuitry of the motherboard and the CPU, and IOMMU groupings. It is possible to slice a gpu into segments, but you need the correct driver. For AMD and Nvidia, this means purchasing a workstation grade GPU certified for this function ( ie a GPU used for enterprise vdi) Intel drivers allow this on many igpus but not all, I think they allow it on the "alchemist" cards, and I know they have a product called Intel flex which is specifically designed for vdi, so, and compute (it can be split into 31 vgpus if I remember correctly) You just can't do it with consumer AMD or Nvidia cards If you use qemu+kvm there is software called virgl (virtual graphics layer) which allows some rendering to be performed on the hosts GPU without passthrough, and it works really well (your not gonna be playing AAA games with this, but you get accelerated desktop and basic media functionality, and it's not that much overhead-- way better than pure software rendering) Have fun hacking

In that case you will need a HDMI dummy dongle

@@NovaspiritTech ok the thing is, passthrough works and i can remotly use the iGPU but connecting a monitor, the screen stays black. I think its an iGPU issue.

This isn’t a tutorial.

@@hyperprotagonist hard disagree as yet it's showing stuff in tutorial style and mentions settings etc. Imo this is trying to be tutorial. Otherwise it would just state this is possible and show it starting and running.

To me, the video seems more like a 'proof of concept'. But indeed, there are no detailed steps. More like an overview.

Not a tutorial video but a showcase@@jothain
