In previous article about GPU pass-thru which can found here, I described how to setup things mostly from Proxmox perspective. However from VM perspective I would like to make a little follow-up, just to make things clear about it.

It has been told that you need to setup q35 machine with VirtIO-GPU and UEFI. It is true, but the most important thing is to actuall disable secure boot, which effectively prevents from loading NVIDIA driver modules.

Add EFI disk, but do not check “pre-enroll keys”. This option would enroll keys and enable secure boot by default. Just add EFI disk without selecting this option and after starting VM you should be able to see your GPU in nvidia-smi.

That is all.
