Specialized components are required for effective dual-GPU passthrough:

  • Motherboard with dual PCIe slots and IOMMU support.
  • Extra GPU for the guest OS, connected to a secondary monitor for HDR support.
  • Extra keyboard and mouse for the guest OS for minimal latency, KVM switch also works.

Passing through a GPU allows for gaming and other graphics-intensive tasks in a virtual machine.
