Unfortunately it didnt work then yet, as my dmesg was flooded with the following message: vfio-pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0: can't reserve [mem 0xc0000000-0xcfffffff 64bit pref] This was caused due grub loading vesafb for the RX480 as the graphical terminal was enabled. So in /etc/default/grub I had to add GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="text" and disable 'GRUB_GFXMODE' (not sure about the last one as maybe thats implicit but it doesnt hurt either). Unfortunately that does mean I cant use ddccontrol it seems, as that complains about missing a framebuffer driver. Therefore I've also asked Asus whether they plan to support choosing the primary vga slot like Gigabyte does and they said 'they will discuss this internally'. My Asus support agent actually had never heard of vfio before and repeatedly said that Asus only supports multiple GPU's when using SLI/Crossfire. So maybe if more people would contact their local Asus support agent and request this feature they are more willing to look at it? Who takes the hint? ;) I had to install the driver twice as the first time the install failed, but at the moment the GPU appears to be working correctly. Now first on to sound before I do some 3D testing.

So far as I understand things, its up to the manufacturer of the card to provide the appropriate ROM to suit the configuration of the card. Its likely that a ROM/BIOS update may fix your RX 480 card. Do both cards work under a pure Windows environment? That's a simple question but a difficult answer to get a pure Windows environment working again ;) Anyway, I got the following results after using GPU-Z under Windows: The RX480 is a MSI Gaming X 8G: <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/187387/187387" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/187387/187387</a> [1] and the RX460 is a XFX R460P4TFG5: <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/189230/189230" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/189230/189230</a> [2] Cheers, Pim _______________________________________________ vfio-users mailing list <a href="mailto:vfio-users@redhat.com" target="_blank">vfio-users@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users</a> [3] Links: ------ [1] <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/187387/187387" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/187387/187387</a> [2] <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/189230/189230" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/189230/189230</a> [3] <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users</a> _______________________________________________ vfio-users mailing list <a href="mailto:vfio-users@redhat.com" target="_blank">vfio-users@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users</a> </blockquote></blockquote> </blockquote></div></div>
