GeForce GTX 980 vm passtrough

Hi,
I've set up a virtual machine with KVM and I'd like to use my computer (Asus ROG G20 AJ 2015)'s gpu, a GeForce GTX 980 in this VM.
My processor is an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
so i followed this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PC … g_up_IOMMU, and I edited my grub config (/etc/default.grub):

# GRUB boot loader configuration

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"

# Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed
GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"

# Uncomment to enable booting from LUKS encrypted devices
#GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y

# Set to 'countdown' or 'hidden' to change timeout behavior,
# press ESC key to display menu.
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu

# Uncomment to use basic console
GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal
#GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
GRUB_GFXMODE=auto

# Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

# Uncomment if you want GRUB to pass to the Linux kernel the old parameter
# format "root=/dev/xxx" instead of "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx"
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true

# Uncomment and set to the desired menu colors.  Used by normal and wallpaper
# modes only.  Entries specified as foreground/background.
#GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="light-blue/black"
#GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT="light-cyan/blue"

# Uncomment one of them for the gfx desired, a image background or a gfxtheme
#GRUB_BACKGROUND="/path/to/wallpaper"
#GRUB_THEME="/path/to/gfxtheme"

# Uncomment to get a beep at GRUB start
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

# Uncomment to make GRUB remember the last selection. This requires
# setting 'GRUB_DEFAULT=saved' above.
#GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true"

I've activated intel virtualization technology in the UEFI, but when I run:

dmesg | grep -i -e DMAR -e IOMMU

I get this

[    0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=4e591388-344e-42f8-a499-d21f0246eb54 rw intel_iommu=on iommu=pt loglevel=3 quiet
[    0.046344] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=4e591388-344e-42f8-a499-d21f0246eb54 rw intel_iommu=on iommu=pt loglevel=3 quiet
[    0.046377] DMAR: IOMMU enabled
[    0.618600] iommu: Default domain type: Passthrough (set via kernel command line)
[    0.773444] AMD-Vi: AMD IOMMUv2 driver by Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>
[    0.773445] AMD-Vi: AMD IOMMUv2 functionality not available on this system
[    1.756464]     intel_iommu=on

Is iommu enabled? Actually the logs about AMD-Vi seems weird, because I haven't got any AMD hardware.
When I run the bash script:

#!/bin/bash
shopt -s nullglob
for g in /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/*; do
    echo "IOMMU Group ${g##*/}:"
    for d in $g/devices/*; do
        echo -e "\t$(lspci -nns ${d##*/})"
    done;
done;

It does return nothing, but I activated IOMMU support, and I'm sure my hardware does support it.
(the repertory /sys/kernel/iommu_groups is empty)
Doesn't my hardware support iommu, or did I do something wrong?
Thanks for your help
NOTE: I installed arch on an external SSD

That message comes from the amd_iommu_v2 kernel module which is a builtin for archlinux kernels (maybe an upstream choice ? ) .
For intel systems it should look exactly as the above.

Your processor does support intel VT-x & VT-d .

Please post full dmesg and/or journal as well as lspci -k  output.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.


(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)
