Question

Video cards

Is it possible to make nvidia geforce gtx 1060 6gb see from a virtual machine if the host is windows 2016 and the guest OS is ubuntu and vice versa?

Answer 1

The answer is - you can, it's called forwarding a video card to a virtual machine / GPU Passthrough , but with a bunch of restrictions and conventions:
1. Host on Windows. Everything is complicated here, I heard about the fact that VK was forwarded in VirtualBox.
https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/dlesd0/gpu_...
There is still, or rather it was RemoteFX, just on server Windows 2012/2016
https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru /windows-server/vi...
the meaning is that this virtual adapter was forwarded to the guest, but the data processing load is occupied by the usual hardware VC, through which the desktop is visible. Actually, that's all. There is also software that, like, divides the power into 2 desktops and copies of environments, but, they say, buggy ... albeit paid.
2. Host on Linux and its colleagues.
Everything is great here, because this is done through KVM / Xen / ESXi. Works. There are requirements for iron, more precisely for a bunch of mother and mother. If they are not met, forwarding is impossible. The difficulty is that it cannot be assessed externally. There is also no centralized directory of such equipment (it’s easier with processors, you need to support VT-d + VT-x / AMD-Vi + IOMMU there), but motherboard manufacturers do not provide such information. So here only by experience or look for posts about successful configs on the network:

this is how it looks in real life (filmed on slippers, the lighting is also not very good)

Answer 2

It is forbidden.
And even vice versa (when the host is linux, and the guest is Windows) - it’s only possible not always, you need to fulfill a bunch of conditions and it’s good to know linux. This topic is often discussed here, but so far there is little progress in it (and why - but because NVidia, for example, openly opposes this, preventing firewood from running in virtual Windows on a forwarded card)
