QEMU-KVM GPU Passthrough Perfomance Horrible After Guest Restart

retalak · 2018-09-16 06:24:51

Hello,
I am having quite a weird issue with my VM and GPU passthrough. It seems I only get near native performance the first time I boot my guest os. If I shutdown my guest and start it back up, I get much worse GPU performance for some odd reason. The only way I have found to resolve this is by restarting my host.

Host: Arch
Guest: Windows 10 1803 (Also occured on 1709)
Ryzen 1700 @ 3.9GHz
G1 Gaming 1080 for guest
EVGA 770 for host
ASRock x370 Taichi (BIOS V3.70)
16GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance @ 3066MHz
Samsung EVO 850 500GB for guest
WD Blue M.2 500GB for host
Corsair TX650

Using latest official packages for everything.

post lspci -knn output please, also /etc/modprobe.d/vfio.conf .

The xml output suggests you use libvirt to manage the VM, is that correct ?

Yes that's correct.

vfio.conf:

Thank you for your help.

post the output of the script at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PC … _are_valid

Also dmesg / journalctl output from first and 2nd start of the VM without a reboot inbetween could help.

Arch Linux
