Nope, Nvidia will never let you pass PCIe virtual functions to VMs. They'd rather charge 7x the price for data center GPUs with that capability.

- Fnoord 5y agoAgain: don't buy Nvidia. This is one of the many reasons why you should consider avoiding this brand (for GPUs). I even gave them the benefit of the doubt with their Nvidia Shield (bought two Pro 2020's) only to have them shove me up ads through my throat via a software update.
- my123 5y agoThat's not NV related sadly, but applies for all Android TV devices. It's beyond their control... And for PCIe VFs for virtualized GPUs, AMD does _not_ provide it either outside of their datacenter line. Note that if you just passthrough the whole GPU, that works out of the box on NVIDIA cards. (btw, for some NV cards, there is: https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock to crack that protection)
- NavinF 5y agoAgain: You don't have a choice. Which AMD GPUs support VFs? Which ones support ROCm? The older AMD consumer GPUs did, but the newer ones don't. They prefer to charge extra for the data center GPUs just like Nvidia.
- mycall 5y agoI have GPU-P working with Hyper-V on a NVidia 3070. It is strange though, as the guest OS sees the 3070 and some software works well (e.g. FurMark) but you can't install the NVidia Game Ready installer (doesn't see a GPU). Otherwise, you are correct.
