QEMU GPU passthrough, how is that even possible?












0














I am new to QEMU virtualizition, I saw on internet that we can pass physical video card to guest machine. but how can that be possible?



for example :



if we have following machine:



CPU: intel 7700k with HD Graphics 630
RAM: 16G
GPU: Nvidia GrForce 1070


The integrated GPU is HD Graphics 630, I want the qemu host linux to use this one, and pass nvidia card to guest windows. but I have only one monitor which is plugged to a DisplayPort on the nvidia card, if I pass nvidia card to guest windows, then my host linux will have no display, isn't it?
