    VM with passthrough "freezes" entire ESXi box when shutdown/rebooting guest

    I have the same problem with a R9 Fury on a Supermicro X10SRH mobo. I'm convinced that the root of this problem is that when I reboot my Windows VM, the VM it is unable to release/reset the GPU.

    ESXi 6.0 and AMD R9 Fury Working Procedure

    To be honest, I'm not sure if that would work or not but it could be worth a shot.

    Passthrough Gaming Rig Upgrade

    Haha. Very good, and valid, question. I have asked myself that question a few times, which is part of why i'm not quite yet prepared to try to rebuild from scratch yet, without enjoying things first. Part of the issue in my troubleshooting is that the displayport-connected monitor is a little...

    Passthrough Gaming Rig Upgrade

    Long time reader, first time poster. Just wanted to contribute after many years of reading, and more recently a lot of searching the 'net for experiences with GPU passthrough on ESXi 6.0 and an ATI R9 Fury. I couldn't find much out there, there's information on 280/290/380/390's but nothing on...
