AMD Radeon GPU pass through

[Bob5778]

Hi all,

I have a Nvidia gpu already in my Truenas scale compute, I bought another GPU on eBay but realised it was AMD Radeon. Is this supported for pass through for plex or windows 10 vm? As I see then vidIQ drivers but nothing about AMD. Thanks.

Plex supports Intel iGPU's, and Nvidia GPU's for HW Transcoding (other than some specific point cases related to NAS w/integrated GPU). AMD GPU's are currently not supported.

Thank you for your response. That will teach me to bid last minute with not checking first.

You could flip things around though and use the AMD GPU for your "console" device and then the Nvidia for Docker/VM's, etc. if you didn't already have an embedded console video output.

Another option would be to use the Nvidia GPU with Container Plex (ix or truecharts) and then pass-through the AMD GPU for VM for other use cases.

Good thinking Yes that sound good switching them around. Thank you again, is much appreciated.
