It will just hand it to the VM (windows) via VGA passthrough (either Xen or KVM will be used). Is that impossible to do with my NVidia? If it is possible, is it easier with the ATi equivalent?
It was already answered. You would be handing the PCI device over to windows (since you have
another
dedicated to linux), so the make does not matter in this case. If you can accomplish that with your current card, than chances are you can do it with any other. What matters is the kernel (and probably motherboard) support for the passing of raw PCI devices, so a better question would be whether to use Xen or KVM and on what motherboard.
- -Oliver Temlin I remember that the kernel had problems disabling the card (99% my fault) but generally, after googling my problems back then I saw a kinda better/easier way for the ATi I also remember that you had to make your nvidia chip look like titan (firmware modding), or something like that...
