oh they have been running it but its comes in the form of the aws / sec services - but more so bit and crypt - which all are using it to target certain individuals now
Hi was wondering if there is a easy way to run Linux Mac and Windows Virtual machines all on the same system I have a Gigabyte x399 Gaming 7 Mobo 1950x CPU and 32GB of Ram and 2 Titan XP (Pascal) any info would greatly be appreciated. I tried the GPU passthrough in Ubuntu as the host os and tried to passthrough did some terminal commands and ended up killing the Ubuntu would not reboot had to reinstall. I don't have much Linux experience. I would like to play windows games inside the virtual machine.
Yes please to a video guide how to enable vGPUs and use them
hahahahah no channel will ever beat the trademark Wendell meme intros
True!
Who needed that sticky note? "Tidying your workspace at the end of each workday helps promote a clean work environment for everyone"
Daily reminder for Wendell? ;)
This does not spark joy
Finally, it was really a douchebag move from Nvidia, i hope AMD will put SR-IOV in the next gen and force that feature into enthusiast hw.
I think intel might do it before everyone
@@RamkrishanYT ahh, perhaps
If Intel Xe develops into a true competitor and the GVT-g support remains and develops to the point of becoming the preferred way of VFIO, that might just be enough of a push to make it happen, who knows.
I do wish AMD did SR-IOV (or any way to vGPU, really) like they did resizable BAR. Virtualized graphics are literally trash-tier without resorting to passthrough.
I need a gvt-g laptop on which I can run two oses at the same time.
Nvidia, Radeon, please give me an option as an individual to use vGPU or SR-IOV. I would give you a reasonable amount of money to use these features on a consumer or prosumer level graphics card.
yes, i also would pay a small license fee for this feature. about $20 or something like that for your troubles nvidia
@JM Coulon well no 'we' dont and that is entirely my point. only a select few who can afford it can do so. but by charging 20 bucks then many more could pay for it and access the feature. and how much money or goodwill would nvidia loose out on in the end if more people could actually buy it?
You don't get it, they don't want your little money, that's peanuts. They are afraid to lose big AWS money from Amazon, Ms Azure, Google cloud ....
Can't wait for the next video! I'm so excited.
Thanks for Looking Glass, btw. 🙏!
I just want to run linux with gpu accelerated windows virtual machines on my single GPU laptops without having to get a PHD.
You are marked "PUBLIC ENEMY NO. 1" on some business guy's PowerPoint slide inside Nvidia HQ. How dare you not buy two machines to do two things!?
Thx, I was waiting for this video 🔥
Glad you covered this topic now in video form.
I just replaced my RX580 with my GTX1070 inside my main machine again so I can use that without struggles for my Windows VM.
vGPUs are something I'm not interested in just yet but the more features we get for free the better.
Dev:Oh nice feature this we made. I will publish on githu...
Boss: Nice profits We(owners and stok) will make. CLOSE THE F*CK*NG SOURCE.
I really wish I could finally pass my 3090 through to a VM that has all utilities needed for my ML workloads, but also use it for Display Out… I mean, the price of the GPU is insane, yet, I need another cheaper card just to display my desktop if I want to separate my dev environment. I am kind of hacking things together with Docker right now, but it isn't ideal; and not needing two GPUs for one system would mean more GPUs for everyone else.
I would love to know more about your background setup, including the monitors you are using, what apps you are using the PC the background.
Love the update, hope to get something going on a home lab soon
This is really exciting, it's a step in the right direction for sure.
On the topic of SR-IOV, Raja Koduri announced that it would be supported on Vega. I bought 3 Vega 56s on launch (for myself, my wife, and for the home server), then no support. I was hoping for splitting in 4 pieces on the consumer cards. At work, I had the S7150, but the performance of that POS card is on the level of 270X, so it counts as half a mid-range card (at its launch time, about half of the RX470).
I'm very much looking forward to the video where you demonstrate showing how to get Windows apps to run seamlessly within linux. Will that be using KVM?
Looking forward for the tutorial
It is still recommended to use the kvm hidden leaf and vendor_id spoof because well, compare the NVIDIA Control Panel with and without them and you'll see (tl;dr without them almost every feature disappears). This is a big change in terms of attitude though, we no longer have to fear our GPUs one day failing to function because of a driver update cracking down on it.
I first attempted VFIO back in 2013. I even got support from the great Wendel, but I was unable to get it work with my hardware. I am still on that machine, and been waiting to build my VFIO beast machine and move 100% off windows. Surprisingly in the interim Proton and wine have advanced to that point where VFIO is almost not needed. Looking forward to Wendel's next video. Maybe I can finally build my ultimate threadripper VFIO dream machine!
try running fusion360 under wine in the year 2021 and you will probably end up having a different opinion. it robbed my of (yet another) day of my life. that was how was waste all of today. yet still not usable for any real life workload. reason? all because of the broken 3d graphics of course. hehe
You're in dire need of Mechanicus seals with prayers to Torvald and others on parchment xD
As a musician, this seems to me it may allow to run DAWs (Digital Audio Workstastion) on Mac or Windows virtual machines a lot more smoothly, nice huahuahua.
Wendell, please do a video on DAWs if you have any info about it =)
We have multiplatform awesome Waveform 11 and Bitwig, and best VST - Vital -- multiplatform as well. Just try think out of the box..
@@chiboreache I am aware of the existence of DAWs for Linux, however, that is not the point nor do I think producing music nowadays on Linux is "thinking outside the box". As someone who runs Pro Tools on Mac and FL Studio on Windows, my goal is to eventually be able to run these programs through virtual machines as efficiently as possible, which is what I pointed out about this video. Learning how to use a completely new DAW just because it is natively available on Linux is not a change most people would be willing to do with their workflow, specially when the great majority of music production is done on Mac and Windows. That goes for any kind of work, people should work on what they are comfortable with, and virtualization seems to be one of the best ways to do that without having to deal with Windows' clunckiness or with Apple proprietary software/hardware.
@TheodoroDML do you really want support someone that ignores you? i don't, that's why i bought Waveform
as for learning - it is simple not a case, since it is all the same.
@@chiboreache What do you mean by ignoring?
And saying every DAW is the same is rather disingenuous.
@@TheodoroDML ignoring Linux platform
Great video!
This man is doing the lord's work.
I hope you're right about this just being the beginning. I'm personally still more likely to dual-boot than I am to jump through the hoops to build a machine around VFIO and set it all up, but if it becomes as easy as checking a box in my hypervisor of choice I'd absolutely love to remove the extra step of rebooting every time I want to play a game.
It gives you the advantage of "golden images" and "snapshots". Something not as easy dual-booting. Plus you can run different OS at the same time, talking to each other.
Hope it can work with just one gpu some day.
That's what I want.
I am curious how you ran those things on the monitor in your background @Level1Linux
You might have been the first one to make movies on this subject in, cough, 2015... I was already doing this a decade earlier with OS X Tiger on a Linux host! I used Synergy back then as well to move the mouse and keyboard focus between my three monitors (middle running Windows, left Linux and right OS X.. don't ask me why, just shits and giggles with three CRT's).
Ran this on an AMD (they had support for IOMMU for decades), a GT7900 and a Quadro 4. Usually I just ran Linux + Windows this way, giving Linux the PCI card and Windows the GPU. Weirdly enough I never had any real issues getting this to run, when I went to setup an old server board a few years ago... this was a massive headache!
Looking to get into gaming on a Win10 VM, would be awesome to see an updated guide...
Preferably one that explains it like I'm bloody 5 yo and a moron. And only the latter is true, unfortunatelly.
You still need to know some 'basic' things about your mboard though, like the principle of being able (IOMMU) to change ACPI Tables. So it is not about just the graphics-card (video card) but also if you have such a MBoard (and CPU with pertaining instruction set). People do things like send back working NIC cards (to sellers) thinking they are broken or fake when (they are not and) really they don't have an MBoard with the ability to operate an expansion card outside the usual (for other MBoards) range. And so their PC will lock upon boot. If for example Nvidia decided to make many a CPU with that instruction set (for SLAT etc.), they could make it so a MBoard must have it all in order to run their GPU as described in the video. Look into hacks like DMA trickery, taping over a PCI-e edge connector strip etc. (on non GPU expansion cards).
That's one heck of a computer desk monitor setup.
Very happy with my VFIO/KVM/QEMU setup. Saw one of the Level1Linux videos on it a couple of years ago, searched around and turned out it works great on Arch. Been running arch for almost 3 years now. NVidia is kinda annoying to deal with, but I just use optimus manager to switch between integrated and NVidia.
What is your Mboard? Thanks.
@@obsoletepowercorrupts ASRock z370 gaming ITX/ac
@@SoulRollerFIN Don't suppose you know off by heart if your MBoard's intel NIC RJ45 LAN does any VMDq or SR-IOV etc? I presume the answer is no (but yes would be good ofc).
@@obsoletepowercorrupts if it's not older than 5 years it should work. Might still work if it is.
@@SoulRollerFIN Have you tried SR-IOV or VMDq on your RJ45 LAN onboard NIC (in VMs swapping between each, sharing etc)?
Have you, for example, done that and then compared it to a Dell i350T4? Ah, you have only one PCIe slot! Tricky.
I just have to ask because finding MBoards that can do all that (changing ACPI tables contents, etc.) requires not just going through online docs but asking individuals (like yourself) who own such MBoards (and have tried empirically).
Getting success can be like finding a needle in a haystack.
It would be cool if a channel like Level1Linux showed a list (if he knew of it) of domestic consumer MBoards that do it all (not just server MBoards).
This guy is awesome
Man I miss that seamless feature, I only went back to Windows for Adobe/Gaming. That would fix at least using Lightroom and Photoshop for me.
amen
really hope this helps enable 3d graphics support for QUBES
Hope that comes for the Linux driver as well.
Oh noes =D the video started buffering when Wendel says if you know where to look..
I have a Quadro in my Lenovo P1. I should try giving the Intel gpu to linux and the Quadro to a Windows VM.
They took their damn time!
Two questions: *1* : Does a nvidia1030oc now do any of this? I presume 'no' is the answer (as it always has been).
*2* : How much of this (vmdq, vfio, sriov etc.) does uhd750 do on say a 11900k cpu iGPU? *2b* Is SLAT needed?
I guess uhd720 does some (making concepts of 1030oc doing it seem fair. e.g. cuda HTPC-NAS, MachingLearning).
*3* Does a rx570 do any of it? (I see rx580 did, in a vfio level1linux video of yore). I know that's 3 Qs but consider them guest Qs.
I just hope for the day where I can have a VM just for windows in my laptop, yes it is possible, but my laptop only has a 1060 and no integrated intel GPU, because of GSYNC, so sadly I gotta live that dual boot life, because you can't split a gpu that is being used to render all graphics inside the host and run accelerated graphics inside a VM :(
0:45 its not a stretch imagining Baby Wendell born with a beard
Is it possible to use VFIO with a single GPU? Then you could use iGPU for the host.
Does this mean we could finally have higher refresh rates on VMs??
That Iron Giant framed on the wall?
I just gave up on good performance from Windows VMs on my Linux box and just run a second computer with Windows for the times I need it. (I support a Windows users, so it does come up now and then.
If you have a decent enough 2nd gpu to throw at the problem then it should work fine if you do a proper gpu passthrough
Another classic intro
What is the model name of the big monitor behind you?
👍👍
Correct me if I am wrong, but Quadros are not included in his driver update . Got the Code 43 with my Dell precision and a P1000 mobile . Any information about that ?
VFIO is great for gaming. But what about real-time audio streams and latency? Is it an addressed issue to the developers?
Have Nvidia or AMD tried to hire you yet?
Feels like you could push through a lot of attitude change from inside the company
+1 - Seamless VM'ed MS Office applications running on my native *nix desktop.. Umm.. Yes please!
Hi...how can I passthrough GPU Nvidia to a VM Windows tor play games. I have a laptop Asus Zephyrus G15 - Ryzen 9 5900hs + Geforce RTX 3060 max-Q. Some tip?
Consuela praying on Nvidia :)
Where can I get that mouse pointer at? :-)
in CS GO in particular some cheaters, cheats worked tru the Linux version, so Valve discontinued it, not that it helped much, or at all, but still.
Baby Wendell looking cute 😅
Leather Jacket for Wendell required lol.
Hi I am thinking of making a beefy system with nvidia 3080 and intel i9. What do you think about using integrated graphics?. I don't want to spend too much money on a second graphics card. So let me know what you think is a good idea?
I don't care if it's amd or nvidia just please someone enable just a single sr-iov vgpu out of the box i only need the one
ah but would you care if its intel? ...because their offering will max out somewhere around 3070 speeds
Wendell reminds me of me. If I were sober, and talented, and dedicated.
I see hollywood :)
I don't even want to run accelerated stuff on the host and guest at the same time... I just want to seamlessly switch from host to guest and back. The most the host would be doing while my guests are being GPU accelerated is drawing window borders or showing web pages...
Can we have that NVIDIA or AMD? Because I'm buying cards from whoever lets me do that first.
Looking Glass == what DGA did before xfree86 dropped it?
Do AMD consumer GPUs support video card sharing between VMs
Nope
Lack of seamless and 3D is a years long annoyance. I wonder if passing vulkan through to qemu then having the proton dxqw on vulkan implementation will happen more quickly.
If you read this, how about joining some open source project, or began maintaining part of Linux. Free (as in freedom) software needs you, and participating makes you happy too =)
Can you please just make an updated tutorial on how to make a windows vm on Ubuntu and get it ready for gaming?
waiting for the next video :D
i see a very strict hr looking note behind the desk
Still not going to use nvidia on linux, that driver has frustrated me for too long - amd stuff just seems to work.
0:02..
7:15..
ROTFL
xD
We need sriov for all gpus
How does this solve code 43?
Can this be done with a pure AMD system (CPU+Grapics from AMD)?
Currently no. If you want a dedicated GPU for a virtual machine you (officially) have to run multi-GPU. AMD simply doesn't have the feature, so it's not a matter of it being artificially locked away. Looking Glass looks promising though.
@@andersjjensen Thanks for the answer. Too bad tho. Hopefully, some times in the future.
@@magnussorensen2565 Honestly I hope Valve's Proton efforts re-sparks mainline Wine to the point where we don't have to at all.... Running Windows in a virtual machine is, imho, a hack in and of itself that would ultimately best be avoided.
@Magnus Sörensen No (like, say, I guess you mean if you have a b450) but you can do part of it (vfio, say, if you have a rx570 or rx580 etc), but full KVM is not a thing yet. However you can do a NIC (like a delli350t4) for all of SR-IOV and VMDq as per KVM on a domestic MBoard if it is a very few narrowed down models of mboard since fx chips (e.g. fx8350, as per the 4th gen intel era i5 that sort of thing but only some CPU). However, if your motherboard supports SLAT (often used in remotefx) and is intel, you might be able to do somewhat more (but I do not know for sure) with the intel iGPU (which is puny in some ways bit has more VRAM than a ryzen APU circa 3000) like say uhd750. However, I don't know how much of it you can do. It does do passthrough. I know this does not quite answer your question but it might shed some light on it (via intel). The uhd750 iGPU is comparible to a nvidia750 (but with dx12) or 1030oc but not quite as fast (and as such is a speed of graphics-power which has some usefulness).
I would like to see some of the reviewers who own a 11900k uhd750 CPU with iGPU (who have all been slagging it off btw) to test all these things. If that intel iGPU can do it, I think AMD and Nvidia will follow suit. In fact especially AMD because the SR-IOV (and some VMDq) requires chips both on the mboard and the expansion card (e.g. Dell i350t4). My point being that if a mboard has the chips AND an APU, they might as well sling the 'chips' on the APU too. Probably even an fpga updated somewhere could do it.
@@andersjjensen To be clear, I'm mainly interested in running a few Linux instances on a future machine. Both simulate ROS networks and test how code runs on various instances and perhaps for data isolation.
Where is Wendell’s autobiography and why haven’t I read it
Excelent time to put those unused nvidia gpus into a gaming server.
My gigabyte G1 gaming 970 is still showing code 43 🙃
Now let’s hope anti-cheats let us alone
The only ones who really suffer directly from cheating are the players, and indirectly companies that depend upon multiplayer. e.g. MMORPG, etc. They are the ones complaining about cheating, and companies are listening, as they should. We don't need anti-cheats leaving us alone. We need players who feel less of a need to cheat in the first place, taking care of the need for anti-cheats in the first place.
Where is the discord link? Why is it so hard to find discord servers? The way links go bad is just absurd.
I need a hate nap after I see all those GPUs and realize I'll never see one at MSRP again in my life.
I am guessing that by saying „post pictures, let me know who you are” you do not mean me posting my pictures in onsie with Pokemons in a garden pool? Just checking… 😅
Basically NVIDIA disabled restriction that everyone (or most people) is easily bypassing anyway. That's why they probably did it. And to gain good rep. Basically the same thing that MS does when it releases the source to software that nobody cares about.
I summoned lord jensen, things got very ugly
VFIO setup has become a lot easier. There's even scripts available.
czcams.com/video/QlGx0XvWuag/video.html This guy has videos and scripts (in the description theres a link) for most distros. I tested the Manjaro VFIO. It got me 95% there. Basically, what wasn't in the script was editing the .xml for the VM. virsh or virt-manager-editing. Hidden state and setting vendor-id. Passed thru Nvidia card. So I guess vendor-id don't have to be set now. Maybe also this: Add to the line Grub_cmdline_linux_default: kvm.ignore_msrs=1.
you must be happy about xpci lol
Nope. They deliberetly added code to stop this working for years. Who knows what they do tomorrow (especially, if this enables some others to go into Geforce Now competition space). If there was SR-IOV support, and it was official, then maybe after some time I would think about using Nvidia, but for now nope. If I was a game developer, sure, maybe I would use it (I.e. to test multiple GPUs and OS versions, without needing multiple computers).
I bet the download size for this new driver is about 300KB. the 500MB removed/missing is the amount of bullshit this code43 thing is, was, will be.
What about if you have a Windows machine and want to run Linux or another version of Windows or even the same version on a VM machine?
Quick question for anyone with a potential answer since I'm here anyways. I have a RTX 2060 in my server passed through to a Windows VM, is there a way to fake the model to the VM? Want to make it appear as a Quadro or something since some programs want that for any GPU acceleration.
2:20 it's not. Check EFT cheating open forums
WINE
Of course there is no documentation. If u'r an Nvidia or AMD leading edge developer these days how are you going to make any contract development money if everyone knew all the techniques and calls, this isn.t like 2012 any more, no way, today its every independent developer for them self, However there are work arounds and there are solutions to this dilemma and Wendell is a part of the solution but like all developers in these tech tube serials slow to get it out on every next episode. Just write a performance guide Wendall and cut al this Tech Tube crap u might even be able to make some real money. mb
Sometimes these intros make me wonder that should we be concerned for Wendell...
Kernal based anti cheat sucks anyway I uninstalled valorant after experiencing vanguard.
