@CharlesV Thanks

I just assumed that I would need QEMU/KVM for GPU Passthrough.

Good to know that VirtualBox has it; but, as you said, maybe I won't need it, anyway.

I assumed that I could put the GPU to work in the VMs. If I've got a decent GPU, why not use it for the VMs, as well?

This is where my knowledge-base is lacking. Maybe my assumption is incorrect, and the VM(s) really won't benefit from direct access to the GPU, for my needs, which will probably be for testing distros. No serious gaming; no multiple monitors.

Oh, my earlier post was incorrect:

I am currently looking at either (one) of the following:

• Gigabyte Nvidia RTX 2060

• Gigabyte Nvidia RTX 3060

Exactly my case. I do a few things with VM's: Development ( two different VM's for two different setups), Dev testing as well as testing / support for here( 4 of those in any given 'fresh' state). Then I have my CCTV, my Ubiquiti setup, and my Kiosk and customer VM's that I do production with.

None of these do I require GPU really ... but then again, I have three *monster fast* rigs I use to drive all this too. Also, at any one time each of these machines has *at least* two VM's running and sometimes up to five or even seven if I am seriously banging on them.
