Intel used to have GVT-g hardware virtualization on their integrated GPUs from Broadwell up. I haven't tried it myself but know people who used and liked it then. All good things come to an end though, and Intel scrapped it for Rocket Lake.
I would've gone and bought Intel ARC dGPUs for my Proxmox cluster if they supported hardware virtualization on their consumer line.

- SirGiggles 2y ago12th gen and newer had some form of SR-IOV support in the i915 driver, but I'm not sure whether or not Intel fully upstreamed that. Here's a project that, iirc, backported and made a DKMS for from Intel's tree: https://github.com/strongtz/i915-sriov-dkms https://github.com/strongtz/i915-sriov-dkms I also recall from that time that Intel had SR-IOV code for the iGPU (and I think their dGPUs) in the new Xe driver
- jeroenhd 2y agoMy experience with GVT-g is that it mostly served as a kernel panic generator. A good idea, but the software experience just isn't stable enough.
