HP-Z440
Ubuntu LTS

Hi,

 

Here is the problem : 

1. I bought a used HP-Z440 workstation with : CPU(XEON E5-2620v3), Motherboard(HP212B), Socket(
FCLGA2011-3) and GPU(Nvidia Quadro P4000). I'm very sastisfied with the Quality/Price ratio!

2. The XEON E5-2620v3 doesn't have an integrated GPU

3. I'm using Linux Mint (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) as an host operating system for an hosted KVM Virtual machine with Windows 10

4. I want to liberate the GPU through KVM IOMMU passthrough for the Windows 10 OS

5. This will block the GPU since it will be exclusive to the W10 virtual machine. So Ubuntu will NOT have a GPU. So I can't use my system!!!

6. So I need a CPU with an integrated GPU. I searched through Internet without succes. The FCLGA2011-3 seems to not accept any CPU with Integrated GPU so I'm "**bleep**ed" with the KVM IOMMU passthrough!

7. Is there an unknown CPU with integrated GPU compatible with the FCLGA2011-B socket and HP212B motherboard?

7. Is there an alternative solution?

 

Thank you!

there are many different KVM's available with different feature sets and how good the compatibility with pc hardware is

 

it's obvious your current KVM  does not have the feature set you want, so look at alternate KVM's and if the cost is to much

 

buy a sec video card off ebay for 10.00 and you problem is solved

 

last solution is to see if a virtual KVM switch will work on your configuration

no greater pain on earth exists , if doing KVM  (for sure hardware KVM)

 

NO END GOAL stated

a HEADLESS PC or server?, if yes use. ANYDESK APP.   

 

https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/How_to_assign_devices_with_VT-d_in_KVM

 

just plug in a real GPU card,  for sure w10 certified drivers,  Nvidia,  Series 700 up, works,  even GS8003 works. a $10 card

now the PC has a working card but VT_d  must work. first.

 

i think this question is pure microsoft.com and intel.com related,  VT-d. , etc.

 

VT-d needs to be supported by both your motherboard chipset and your CPU. ( and is the answer here)
