      In the past I was able to successfully pass through a GTX 970 on a Dell R720.

      I had limited time for testing but in the end it was successful I was able to get the GPU to pass through to the VM. Everything worked as expected for RDP however.

      I was never able to manage to get a video output from any of the GPU video ports HDMI display port etc..

      Is anyone aware of a way to get this to work I do want to do GPU pass through but I want the VM to act as a physical device.

      Is this a limitation of the hypervisor?
      GPU pass through works fine but no video output from graphics card?

      I could not find any instance in the forums of anyone trying to do this but I know it can be done with KVM and Windows GPU-P, Unraid etc.

      Has anyone done this successfully or know if it's possible?

        @mspencerl87 You need a dummy plug or some sort of virtual monitor like usbmmidd

          A dummy plug is what you would use in the event of using no monitor.
          I can get perfect GPU passthrough in a VM. I can't get video output to an actual monitor. Is what I'm saying.

              Yes, that works, RDP works etc.
              I'm trying to get Video out on the physical display/hdmi ports.

                I do not have now host with GPU to test, but maybe you can try on/off this option in VM BIOS.

                Console options -> Console Output Device Select ->
                6e3d43e9-aa03-40d3-bf90-d868d757f19f-image.png

                And another option is to add video=efifb:off to the grub config

                  Never ran across this before, that's for that screenshot, and command.
                  When I'm able to I'll for sure give this another shot and check these.
