Re: bhyve: GPU passthrough for Nvidia cards

Hello Stephan,

A year a go I did try passtrhu a dedicated nvidia GTX 1650 while using
integrated intel graphics (laptop Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05). Windows
detected card but nvidia drivers install failed at some point.
On this laptop I did setup bios to use integrated graphics so I can
passthru dedicated nvidia.

Think I will give a new try since I follow main.

Are you using laptops for this usecase?

Thanks!
