If this does actually end up happening, i wonder if this would be a good alternative for single gpu passthrough. As it happens my passthrough setup broke again this week, because it refuses to unbind my card for some reason and just hangs forever. It's the second time this happened and this time i can't seem to fix it. Since i'm kinda tired of these issues i'm thinking of just avoiding this vm setup entirely and see how much i can get working in linux natively. I was mainly using it for my quest 2 but from what i've heard alvr has improved a lot over these last 2-3 years, so i'll probably give that another try (couldn't get it to work when i last tried it years ago).

Well it is happening for sure. AMD comes correct.

I think you're mistaken on the purpose though. This is mostly about about AI bullshit in some sense, because the multitenancy of GPUs in such a situation is problematic, and this puts them out front with a huge lead to combat that.
