> If you use an Intel GPU, particularly one of their new Arc dedicated GPUs, it supports the functionality on the consumer grade hardware without any trickery and you just need Looking Glass to map the outputs.

Does this work yet? Last time I looked, my understanding was that SR-IOV is supposedly supported on Arc but the software doesn't exist yet, and might not for some time.

I don't think it's due for upstream until next year. You can pull it and mess with it now though if you're willing to buy the GPU from eBay or China. I haven't seen any US/Europe retail postings yet. For most it's fair to say it's not actually available yet though.

I'm sad they got rid of GVT-g with the change though. SR-IOV is definitely a nice add but it has downsides on the resource sharing. Undoubtedly GVT-g was just considered too unsafe and too niche to keep though.
