Buckle up!

But first... What am I drinking???

From Block 15 Brewing, it's the Cold Brew Stout, a 7% stout aged with cold brew coffee. This one is a pretty local affair, as B15 doesn't have a massive geographic availability.... but if you like coffee-infused beers, this is absolutely one to track down.

Massive shoutout to DualCoder and Krustav for their work on the vgpu_unlock script. Check out the Git for the script: github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock

    It's 2021. The world is a dumpster fire, but at least Crysis can run with full settings in a VM!
  • @mikebroom1866
    The limitations of the vgpu memory really starts to make the 24GB of the 3090 seem more sane.
  • @vonkruel
    Very clear instruction without a bunch of fluff. You've done a service to the community here.
  • It's so cool to see this working. I've watched and listened to the struggles you have had with this Jeff, congrats! This tutorial is perfect for following along to, precise and to the point. This was fun to watch, and really looking forward to the next couple of tutorials.
  • @Jake9066
    "Depending on your internet, this will take 2 to 5 minutes to complete." You drastically underestimate how terrible some internet connections can be.
  • @HarryWho102
    I can not thank you enough. You supply this information and your experience for no cost. Plus you have a smile whilst doing it. Good-on-ya.
  • Thank you Jeff for this tutorial! This is something I've been playing with for a while... nice to have it finally working and the steps spelled out.
  • @johnnyxp64
    I'm only like 10 minutes into the video but I still wish to thank you for the wonderful editing! this is how a good tutorial should be.
  • @JPEaglesandKatz
    Your tutorials and vids are something special... Clear and easy to follow. And I love the fact that you enable us to get the files for more easy copy/pasting!!! Keep on rocking!! :)

  • @OARomanov
    Oh my god this is absolutely perfect tutorial! Jeff, thank you very much for it! Please go on and greetings from Siberia!
  • @Dqixol
    Thank you so much! I have been waiting for vgpu on consumer cards for so long! Hope we can have it supported officially on next gen gpus.
  • @ozbusa
    "Ask me how I know?" .... best giggle I've had today. Love the channel and I'm so keen to get this underway
  • @aliwalil4160
    Dude, you are awesome. I don't need doing gpu passthrough right now but your content is invaluable.
  • @aaronb4957
    This video deserves a comment for the algorithm.
  • @Barzder
    Wow! Awesome! I will never need this, but enjoyed watching it. I don’t want to start to think about how much time and nerves it took to complete this task, never mind doing a tutorial for it! Kudos!
  • @craigw4644
    This is the wildest tutorial video ever watched; very impressive, understood the whole process. I'm debating building a Windows game server or using Proxmox and passing through a video card on a Windows VM for gaming. I will not need to share resources, so the whole card will be dedicated to games. My research on the subject is mixed. Thanks for posting, looks like it required a lot of homework.
