Need to either get SLI working or get a bigger 9xx series card at some point.Įither way, my testing with 3dmark gave me scores within 3% of bare metal performance. Far cry 4 I can't push to 4k with my current gpu though. I actually could get 4k res on my card with far cry 3 and good framerate. I also have an Asus 4k gsync monitor that just makes all games play like blu ray smooth. No more stuttering or breakups.įar cry 4 graphics are AMAZING and have some nvidia specific optimizations too. Leaving it at the default allowed correct passthrough of the audio stream that was then decoded properly by my Denon receiver. I had changed it to 5.1/7.1 and this caused a conflict between the GTX 970 NVIDIA HD audio driver and the windows driver. It turned out to be the Windows inbuilt sound settings which allow you to choose how many speakers are connected to the sound device. Within a short period of time the audio would stutter and breakup followed by video stalls and sometimes OS crashes. Everything would install fine and I was able to play 5.1 and 7.1 audio tracks through Plex. I am going to install FarCry4 and see if I can put the card through its paces over the next few days. I would figure it is a growth market for them and at the very least a market in which they can remain viable and competitive. I love the specs on the new NVIDIA cards (low power consumption, high frame rates) its just hard to understand why they are so against VM use. Not sure which of the combo worked but it does seem to be functioning. Reinstalled the drivers and now the card is working and so is the audio.
I have done some reading and it seems that Nvidia checks the guest to see if it is running as a virtual machine and then disables much of the cards functions. Upon restart of the VM the GPU shows as not working in the device manager and the Windows guest is using the microsoft driver to run the graphics. The Win8.1 guest starts up fine and I am able to download and install the nvidia drivers for the card.
I have successfully had AMD GPU's passed through but I am now trying to get a MSI GTX 970 to pass through on a Win8.1 guest.
