SLI Multi-OS – GPU Assignment in System Virtualization
On systems with two or more graphics cards installed, this driver supports a
hypervisor's ability to directly assign GPUs to guest virtual machines (VMs). This direct
assignment allows each guest VM to run on their own operating system with their own
GPU and driver. The assignment allows full GPU performance and functionality in the
guest VM.
Hardware Platform Requirements
To make use of GPU passthrough with virtual machines running Windows and Linux,
the hardware platform must support the following features:
 A CPU with hardware-assisted instruction set virtualization: Intel VT-x or AMD-V.
 Platform support for I/O DMA remapping.
On Intel platforms the DMA remapper technology is called Intel VT-d.
On AMD platforms it is called AMD IOMMU.
Support for these feature varies by processor family, product, and system, and should be
verified at the manufacturer's website.
Supported Hypervisors
The following hypervisors are supported:
