FAILED LOAD HARDWARE MONITOR DRIVER MSI INSTALL

Since the discovery of MSI I stopped having issues with the video card and everything runs butter smooth. IвЂ™ve used my virtualized main workstation/gaming station for a while now, and the only times video card had troubles or the entire VM crashed, was because something between the drivers and the pass-through of the IRQ interrupts in line-based mode failed hard. There are various arbitrary sources that can tell you why MSI is better than the default line-based counterpart, but when it comes to virtualization I can tell you the top reason why you want to switch to MSI: line-based is unstable.

after the drivers are installed you can manually edit the Windows registry to enable MSI (also needs a reboot).

On KVM through QEMU you can specify a `kvm=off` for the CPU, or edit the machine with `virsh edit`.

there are ways to вЂњunflagвЂќ a guest machine from the dom0.

The best thing you can do is have GPU capabilities in the CPU. So, here are fixes for the problems above, same numerical order: YouвЂ™re not using the card in a guest machine after all, right? Right?

Although every card supports MSI mode as a replacement for line-based mode, every single time you install the drivers the MSI mode gets reset, as only the workstation/server grade drivers flag the system about message mode. If the drivers on the guest sniff out that youвЂ™re running within a hypervisor, they wonвЂ™t work. If you buy a workstation grade with the same hardware though, weвЂ™ll allow it.

You canвЂ™t pass-through the first graphic card on consumer devices, because reasons. There are only a handful of problems with PCI pass-through of video devices: So, IвЂ™ll write it right now, since it contains valuable information that might help some people. Picture me surprised when I found out that I never actually posted it, although the article has been in the back of my mind for the past two years or so. Today I started searching for an old article of mine in regard to guest Windows VMs and the troubles with pass-through Nvidia cards.
