Im looking to run my next run of bots in a VM on windows 11. I have an EGPU connected via thunderbolt 3.. wondering if im able to use the egpu for the vm to run the bot. Thanks in advance!

I have setup vm on win 11, hyper v running win 10 took me quite some time to get it to work though followed this tutorial

So i was trying this tutorial a few weeks back but was stuck when i was having to copy over my gpu drivers and such.. His example is using Nvidia drivers and files, where as , my setup is an AMD Rx 6600. I wasnt copying over the correct drivers and gpu files. Ill try to follow again but use win 10 instead of win11 on the vm.

I had issues with this too, make sure u name the folders correctly, or just copy most of sys 32 over that worked for me :D

idk it took me a full day to get this to work dont give up

i was wondering if thered be any harm in copying over most of that sys32 file. curious.. did you copy over your sys32 file from your win11 host machine to the win10 sys32 file (for the drivers and all that?)

-Tested on-
Win10 Pro x64 on desktop computer, single monitor.

-Which guide is easier to follow?-
Verified that this above mentioned YouTube video method does run multiple instances on host OS and multiple VM clients.
Seen a few other forums/guides, and tried a few, but so far the YouTube video guide is mostly straightforward and cuts to the chase.

-Control VM remotely-
Parsec far from perfect, so always use TeamViewer as your backup to check on status.
Parsec is a massively huge network bandwidth hog, so if your ISP has a cap on data quota, then be warned that 50mbps, running for several hours, just a few days, will def. exceed 1TB threshold.

-Questions about the file transfer-
Use PowerISO or image recording tool, to quickly create images for data transfer (drivers, install files, etc.) and mount them into the Hyper V client instead of having to route discovery path for folder sharing

-Can I restart my computer?-
If you restart the computer, you may run into some issues, and might have to re-run the power shell commands, and restart the VM's.

-Dual graphics cards-
Intel + Geforce graphics cards; you do not have to disconnect your main display from the Intel mobo graphics card, the GPU processing will be handled by the Host OS
Some guides are recommended to pre-split the graphics card with powershell, so that the graphics cards are pre-capped for performance, but it may or may not make a difference, as the Host OS will automate that process with the command line:

If your VM has the Intel graphics card in its own client device manager, simply uninstall it.

-What if I run the same command too many times?-
Avoid running power shell command for the graphics card partition split and client VM too many times, it will create too many splits and client graphics cards partitions, likely causing further errors.

-What are other forums saying?-
Enable CPU cache combing
Set-VM -GuestControlledCacheTypes $true -VMName "INSERT VM NAME HERE"
("add quotations if your VM has a space") -> have not really seen any performance impact, this supposedly loads graphics data into your CPU before it is processed to the graphics card.
Unnecessary extra step, because from the YouTube video file download, it is already included as part of the command script, "GPU-P-Partition".

-Will this work on laptop?-
Will update later on using multiple Geforce graphics cards.
Others are saying this cannot work on single graphics card laptop.. Have not tried this yet on single graphics card laptop, will update later on this.

-Recommended desktop hardware-
Minimum CPU should be i7 w/+16 threads, but if your budget allows, recommended is an AMD CPU +32 threads would be better.
RAM should be minimum 64gb, 32gb will handle it, but barely scrape by (as seen below)
Geforce 3060 non-Ti has more memory (non-Ti-12gb vs Ti-8gb), and may or may not be a factor with multiple VM, but will test with Ti cards later.

Below shows x3 instances of running D2R on performance, host is on native IP, and x2 VM's are on VPN.

Had to disable the Intel graphics card, it sucks, and VM's have issues.
Since then, had to restart the VM's and play with the power shell scripts.

VM's effective on NordVPN, and use kill switch with non-visible on LAN.
Upgraded RAM to 64gb.
