4k in dom0 shouldn't be an issue at all, though using a 1080 for that is a bit wasteful. I'd suggest getting like an rx550 (or a HD 7750, like I had lying around) for use in dom0, and passing the GTX 1080 through to a VM (perhaps after updating the kernel to self-built 4.11?). I did not have much success with passthrough when I still had my gtx 950, but I'm a linux n00b, and that got in the way of troubleshooting. The installation issues are due to the installer being somewhat older (and including a 4.4-based kernel); they may be resolved with the 3.2.1. release. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
