Thanks for the video card insight Garrett. I swapped in an older Nvidia
Geforce GTX 745 card to see the impact. Regardless, the same errors show up
for both SmartOS and OmniOS.

Would the bios setting have an impact? I have assumed that NX, SVM (virtual
machine), and IOMMU settings should be enabled and maybe that's incorrect.
Maybe other bios settings are impactful as well?

Thanks again,
Rob
