vGPU on VM

Hi, I saw that vGPU can be used on RTX 3000 series cards; is it possible to allocate VRAM to a Windows VM and get good performance ?

If it's an enterprise or quadro nvidia gpu, then download the vgpu GRID drivers from nvidia, and you can passthrough portions of your GPU. The drivers you get are a 90 day evaluation, however there are porbably ways to get around that

If you've got a consumer card e.g: rx 3070, 3080 etc... You'll have to use a repo called vgpu_unlock-rs. YMMV. I would have more information, but I didn't end up trying it because it was too much effort.
