About this tag
The pci passthrough tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about assigning physical PCI and PCIe devices, especially GPUs, directly to virtual machines. The tagged content focuses on Proxmox Virtual Environment, where users compare QEMU machine types such as the default i440fx chipset against Q35 when configuring passthrough. These threads are aimed at system administrators and homelab builders who want reliable GPU passthrough and correct VM hardware settings rather than emulated devices. The material highlights practical configuration choices that affect whether passthrough works as expected in a virtualized environment.

    Proxmox i440fx vs Q35: When to Use Each VM Machine Type for PCIe and GPU Passthrough

    When spinning up a new virtual machine in Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE), it is second nature for system administrators and homelab builders to click straight through the creation wizard’s System tab without giving its quieter settings a second look. Tucked into that menu is the Machine...
