You can run your host OS using the integrated graphics and assign the dedicated card to the Windows VM

  I'm having a hard time finding any information about that. Anything you can point me to? Ideally, I'd like to use 2x1080 (sli) with Windows KVM guest and then use the integrated graphics for Linux host.

      Thanks! I've read up since the last post. Now I'm trying to decide if I can live without SLI.

        The guide linked above was the same one I used. Honestly it took me quite a while to get it all working. I had to buy a separate soundcard since I wasn't able to get the one on the motherboard to pass through the audio correctly without static noise in it. Once I got the HTC Vive I ended up just going back to a dedicated Windows install and built a separate machine just for Linux stuff. Saved me lots of headache.

      There's a ton of guides, I found it useful to read a bunch of them and mentally prepare for the kind of stuff I should be doing.

    SLI is hard/maybe impossible with GPU pass-through. Let me know if you get it to work!
