Re: [Xen-devel] GTX 760 passed through



The nvlddmkm.sys needs to be patched removing the whitelist for the device ids allowed to be virtualized.
But the interesting part is how NVIDIA detects that the GPU is virtualized...

Hello,
I've successfully passed a unmodified GTX 760 to Win7 x64. It involved
some driver patching on the client side but I'm close to getting the
required steps on the server side, too. Are there any legal issues
that might arise from releasing a patch?

Considering we have everything up to and including a Titan/780 easily
modifiable into Quadros/Teslas/Grids to make them work? :)

I for one would welcome not having to break out my soldering iron.

When you say driver patching, what are we talking about? Unless
something changed very recently, just modifying the .inf file
isn't sufficient (unless your server-side patch does some
device ID faking - which it probably doesn't since the card
is still showing up as a 780 in domU).
