Curiously, have you tried crossfire with these two 6870 cards? -Wei> Personally I''m having positive experiences with AMD cards. Currently > running two ATI 6870s in a 64-bit Windows 7 DomU.

It hits me nearly every day (windows still likes to reboot after nearly every windows update, so...).

Hello, I am not a developer, but am using this discussion as a guideline to getting PCI passthrough working on my system. I am trying to get a EVGA GTX480 SE passed through to the VM (Windows 7). Also I am considering arranging my system so that the NVIDIA card will be the secondary VGA interface, passed through to my DomU. The primary interface (on-board VGA) will be used for Dom0. I would like to ask if the current xen-unstable (24462) has the patches discussed here incorporated into it or will I still have to patch this version to get my NVDIA card passed through? Also, has anyone successfully passed the GTX480 through to a Windows or Linux DomU? Thanks and best regards Sandi -- View this message in context: http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/Patches-for-VGA-Passthrough-XEN-4-2-unstable-tp4406265p5124160.html Sent from the Xen - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Forget about Windows 7. I didn''t see a single working solution to passthrough an nVidia card (at least not Quadro) to a win7 domu. However WindowsXP works almost painless. Just follow instructions and apply patches from D.

All informations given - by n4rc0tic - are right. For XP: nvidia should work For win7, you should be well-advised to use a ATI card.
