Must support IOMMU . Ideally, the GPU you want to pass through should be in its own isolated IOMMU group to avoid "passing through" other critical components like your USB controller or NVMe drive by accident. 2. Preparing the Host (Linux)

Sometimes the VM needs a clean copy of the GPU's Video BIOS (vBIOS). You can download this from TechPowerUp and point to it in your XML config using . osx-kvm-gpu-passthrough

However, it is not a "plug-and-play" process. It requires specific hardware and precise configuration of the Linux host. 1. Hardware Requirements & Compatibility Must support IOMMU

Before touching the VM, you must "isolate" the GPU so the Linux host doesn't try to use it. Preparing the Host (Linux) Sometimes the VM needs

Edit your GRUB configuration ( /etc/default/grub ) and add intel_iommu=on or amd_iommu=on to the kernel parameters.
