You didn't have to flash the rom onto the card, you could just
supply it to the VM with the following XML, check my previous mail:<br class="gmail_msg">
<pre class="gmail_msg"><rom bar='on' file='/opt/GTX760.rom'/>
</pre>
One thing i've forgotten to add, that the vendors tell people to
flash their cards with this command:<br class="gmail_msg">
<pre class="gmail_msg">nvflash
</pre>
<p class="gmail_msg">But you do not need to do that at all!</p>
I've ran EfiRom -d on the rom file and it said that the file is not
a rom file. The thing that worked for me was striping the rom and
skipping some of the first bytes with this command:<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
<pre class="gmail_msg">dd if=NV287MH.2K0 of=strip.rom bs=1 skip=1536
</pre>
<p class="gmail_msg">Then supplied it into VM and it started working properly :)<br class="gmail_msg">

<p class="gmail_msg">It seems like you might have the same
problem i have had with Error 43. For using passthrough
with OVMF, your GPU needs to have a UEFI compatible ROM,
either on the card itself or supplied to the VM using:<br class="gmail_msg">
</p>
<pre class="gmail_msg"><rom bar='on' file='/opt/GTX650.rom'/>
</pre>
<p class="gmail_msg">It should be used like this</p>
<pre class="gmail_msg"><devices>
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
<source>
<address domain='0x0000' bus='0x06' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
</source>
<boot order='1'/>
<rom bar='on' file='/opt/GTX650.rom'/>
</hostdev>
</devices>
</pre>
<p class="gmail_msg">You need to check whether your ROM
supports UEFI or not. Look up this blog post by Alex
Williamson on how to do that

but instead of using his utility (which for me said that
the rom is UEFI compatible, while it was not) use:</p>
<pre class="gmail_msg">EfiRom -d
</pre>
<p class="gmail_msg">It comes with 'edk2' package in Fedora.</p>
<p class="gmail_msg">If you cannot extract the ROM file from
your card (it was the same for me) then go into google and
search for something like "(vendor e.g. MSI) GTX 650 TI
BOOST uefi rom". If you cannot find anything with that,
then go to a forum of the vendor of your card and ask them
to supply it to you.<br class="gmail_msg">

I have even used the OVMF git pure efi image to see if
there was a difference but it doesnt seem to be helping.
I have tried both attempts on Q35 and 440fx and nothing
to be gotten out of it. I'm very lost on this and i have
no clue whats going on. Not sure if this is the place
for such requests but im lost<br class="gmail_msg">
