You don’t. Pass through to a VM on ProxMox works fine without integrated graphics and a single GPU. The graphics card simply drops the physical host console after the VM begins to boot, and then displays whatever the VM is outputting.
- sneak 5y agoDo you have more info about this setup?
- sithadmin 5y agoI used the method described here: https://elijahliedtke.medium.com/home-lab-guides-proxmox-6-pci-e-passthrough-with-nvidia-43ccfb9424de https://elijahliedtke.medium.com/home-lab-guides-proxmox-6-p...

- jhanschoo 5y agoYou're right, you can do passthrough with a single GPU, and there are multiple ways to do that. But note a huge caveat: you can't run an X server, whereas being able to simultaneously run desktop apps in the host and VM is a huge reason many run Windows in a VM rather than dual-boot into it.

- sithadmin 5y agoSure, it doesn't work for that use case, but most folks aren't going to be running a ProxMox system in a desktop use case anyway.
