Anyone have a guide or know of the steps needed to setup GPU passthrough? VFIO? seen a few guides but they seem to not work with Garuda.

@Dechstang

seen a few guides

Links?

[filo]

The one in the Arch wiki should be okay.
Anyway, a conplex task like this will never be 100% covered by a step-by-step guide. It depends too much on the HW you have and the SW you use.
This thread includes a good hint for Garuda users, adopting dracut instead of mkinitcpio.

Garuda GPU passthrough guide?

Is anyone aware of an actual guide written for Garuda for GPU passthough. Not for arch or some derivative, but for Garuda? The two arch guides reference adding line to files do not exist in Garuda Dragonized KDE. I.E: /etc/mkinitcpio.conf for one example. I had this working almost perfectly, but reinstalled and trying to get back to my happy "Zen" build. Two other articles reference the cmds to add to the grub boot loader. But each one has a different version of vfio-pci ids=10de:13c2,10de:0f…

[rioraft]

Everything should be same as any guide. Just use the dracut ones instead of mkinitcpio.

Have you seem BlandManStudio’s videos?

Single GPU Passthrough Tutorial - KVM/VFIO

[anotherrainydayyy]

I’m doing passtrough for my Nvidia GPU, my motherboard not support proper grouping so I also enabled ACS patch.

Not sure for AMD but probably same, what GPU you wanna passtrough?

[Dechstang]

Thanks to everyone who replied. I now have working GPU pass-through with Garuda Hyprland and looking glass.
