Just to clarify because I've failed at doing pretty much the setup that you are describing with my 1080Ti. Does this still require the vgpu_unlock changes for Nvidia cards or is this something that bypasses the need for it entirely?
The normal vGPU_Unlock steps aren't a part of the user setup process, rather the optional merged driver package is built with a C version of the code that's been prepackaged. If you decide to use the vGPU_Unlock merged driver option during setup you won't have to do the (somewhat intense) process of vGPU_Unlock setup, you'll just skip straight to the end result. :)
Sorry I don’t understand well. A lot of jargon is being throw around and I haven’t touched this topic much once I got my pass through setup working
