    Software to allow partitioning gpu resources among multiple virtual machines instead of just assigning the one PCIe device to a single VM. Very useful for having a single GPU do 3D acceleration on a host and multiple guests at the same time.

      Right now on Linux, it’s only possible with Nvidia, right? I have an old 1060 on my server. (all-AMD on my Desktop).
