Passthrough a PCIE slot?

[wfmarcum]

I have an nvidia card installed that TrueNAS scale, does not recognize. I want to pass it through to a VM of debian, however since it's not recognized I can't seem to find it in my list of devices. I know it's in the 3rd slot of my motherboard, and that lane is controlled by CPU 1.

Is it possible to just pass the PCIE slot completely and allow the virtual machine to deal with drivers?

Running TrueNAS-SCALE-23.10.2

this is how PCIe passthrough works. that you dont see it to pass it through usually means:
1. the card is messing with you to see how long you last till a breakdown.
2. the card is dead and not presenting itself at all
3. the card is being used by the OS, and truenas needs to be told not to use it. I'm far less familiar with Truenas SCALE, but I vaguely recall there being a section in system for doing this?
