Edit your GRUB configuration ( /etc/default/grub ) and add intel_iommu=on or amd_iommu=on to the kernel parameters.
Use lspci -nn to find the Vendor and Device IDs for your GPU and its associated audio controller.
Must support IOMMU . Ideally, the GPU you want to pass through should be in its own isolated IOMMU group to avoid "passing through" other critical components like your USB controller or NVMe drive by accident. 2. Preparing the Host (Linux)
A GPU gives you a display, but you still need a smooth mouse and keyboard. Passing through an entire USB Controller is better than passing through individual HID devices for zero latency. 5. Why Bother?
Getting native graphics performance on a macOS virtual machine via KVM is the "holy grail" of virtualization. It turns a laggy VNC window into a fully functional workstation capable of video editing, Xcode development, and even light gaming.
