Hello, There is quite active effort to implement device passthrough (including GPU, nics, usb etc.)[1]. Physical GPU passthrough can be considered generic PCI passthrough which should be ready for oVirt 3.6. As for the vGPU, that will depend on technology used - SR-IOV would be supported along PCI passthrough, anything else might need additional work on our side.
