User:R7l/Nvidia GPU passthrough with QEMU on Lenovo ThinkPad P53

GPU passthrough is a technology that allows the Linux kernel to directly present an internal PCI GPU to a virtual machine. It is allows you to run a selected number of systems with nearly the same performance as you would have using bare metal. In most cases this will be used for gaming or any other task that requires GPU performance.

It is mostly known as VFIO or IOMMU and one of the best ways to archive this is using QEMU.
