[libvirt-users] Using Intel Quick-Sync with GPU capable Intel CPUs

Rogue S.T asked about checking out graphics cards which brought the question to me... Is it possible to make Intel on-CPU GPU resources to Windows 10? (the box I'm working with has Xeon E5-2640v4 CPUs which should be QuickSync capable) What else do I have to do to take advantage of this? Just load the drivers? Thanks, -Ben

I've no idea what QuickSync is, but GPU assignment should would just fine.

Just load the drivers?
And before that define <hostdev/> in the domain XML so that libvirt enables the PCI assignment. For instance: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06) <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'> <source> <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </source> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </hostdev> Michal

It's what Intel calls their GPU on CPU "stuff"

OK -- I'll take a look - but I'm assuming adding that doesn't infer I want to use the device for actual video. The display will still be the SPICE/VNC/WHATEVER that the system thinks it's the official display now. -Ben
