So, I'm afraid I already know the answer, but I'm hoping for some magical package or work around I don't know of.
Essentially I want to set up a VM for gaming on windows, some games I play don't work on Linux and Wine while
a great invention is suboptimal.
Besides, while I understand and agree with the necessity, I don't like how invasive some anticheats get.
But I digress, here's what I'm hoping for;
My monitors are plugged in to my GTX 1060, and running great on Arch with KDE, but I want to pass that GPU to the VM.
So I have an old 750 ti laying around which I plugged in to the reserve PCI slot.
Is there any possibility of the monitors using the 750 ti in the Linux environment, and the 1060 in the VM?
The monitors are connected to the 1060 through DP 1.4 connectors, I fear though that reserving the GPU for
the VM will make it - and connected monitors - invisible (or at least unusable) to Linux.
Any input is welcome, and yes I could technically wire them up to the 750 ti as well and just switch from the monitors,
but I don't have all the required cables, and would like to avoid adding even more to my setup, if possible.

So all of this is dependent upon your motherboard having the right capabilities. If it does then yes they can absolutely. One of the things you will need to do is put the 750 TI in the slot the GTX 1060 is in so that it is the boot VGA. Then essentially after that you would bind the VFIO drivers to the 1060 very early in the boot process. After that you will be able to pass the VM through to the Windows guest for gaming.
There is an awesome guide on the Arch Wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PCI_pa … h_via_OVMF where they tell you how to enable IOMMU and check for the right groupings and such. Check that out for sure.
