So I encountered this weird issue. I bought an RTX 3060 12GB for the VRAM to passthrough to a Ubuntu VM to run random AI stuff on it.

At first I have an RTX 2060 Super in the machine and passed through to the VM, then when I swapped the RTX 3060 into the machine and passed to the VM it works fine. But then I restarted the machine and now the RTX 3060 does not work in the VM anymore. BUT if I swap to the RTX 2060 and boot the VM then shut down and swap the RTX 3060 back in it would work again.

What gives? Is this the Nvidia driver essentially blocking the RTX 3060 from running if its in a VM? That can somehow be bypassed by using an RTX 2060 first then rebooting with the RTX 3060? The RTX 2060 never had any issues with running in a VM but I would really like to run the RTX 3060 instead.

Anyone has any insight on this or gotten an RTX 3060 working in a VM in Truenas Scale?
