Awesome.
I've got a 1060 that is long in the tooth, and I've wanted to add a second video card for experimenting with SR-IOV.
Regarding SR-IOV (if that's what it's still called); Can anybody suggest a decent resource for implementing it?
I know that alot of these mining cards will have been worked hard. I'm not afraid to reapply thermal paste, and if the price is right I can get a couple.
SR-IOV is single root virtualization, which requires Quadro or the Data Center GPU's. Those aren't used very much in mining due to their cost. Did you mean of PCIe pass through?
I recommend using either Debian or another Linux that's not RedHat based though, as the Nvidia drivers will disable themselves if they think they're running inside of a VM against a GeForce card, and Redhat patched out the components necessary to hide the flags from the Guest OS. Probably under pressure by Nvidia.
You'll also have to double check that both the CPU and motherboard supports either Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi. CPU flags are easy enough, they'll be listed in /proc/cpuinfo, you'd have to look up your motherboard to see if it supports it or not though.
