Assistance needed with Single GPU-Passthrough

So i recently got my windows vm working in virt-manager with a physical partition but my next move is gpu passthrough. However I only have one dedicated graphics card (my nvidia GTX 1060 6GB) and (luckily) my CPU (Ryzen 3 2200G) integrated graphics. Technically i have 2 Graphics cards but I want my dedicated card to only be used by the VM while it's running and given back to arch when it stops. Is there any way to do this? I've managed to stick to the graphical interface so far and I'd like to stay that way but if I need to delve into the command line i will. If you need any logs or anything of the sort I'm willing to provide. Thanks.

Re: Assistance needed with Single GPU-Passthrough

You're not trying single gpu passthrough, but dynamically passing through the discrete gpu on a hybrid graphics (dual gpu) system.

In theory it's possible. This question has come up before, but I have no idea if anyone has done it succesfully .

You're using virt-manager but that's a frontend. What hypervisor are you using (qemu, virtualbox , vmware etc ) ?

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

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
