Hi,

I tried your method and it definitely did something.

When attaching the device as is, virsh tells me:
error: internal error: Attempted double use of PCI slot 0000:00:02.0 (may need "multifunction='on'" for device on function 0) If I remove the second <address ... /> tag completely, virsh attaches the device successfully. Windows tells me, that the GPU has an error code 14 (that's new) and that I shall restart.
After the restart, the GPU gives me Code 43 again.

Best regards,
Ruben

Ok, try to remove your passthrough from your guest configuration (either using virsh of virt manager). That is : remove the actual gpu (PCI:1:0.0) but keep the associated sound card (PCI:1:0.1) in there so virsh knows it needs to bind with this VFIO group. From there, create a file (let's say ./GPU_DEVICE.xml) containing just the following :

    1.
        <hostdevmode='subsystem'type='pci'managed='yes'>
    2.
        <source>
    3.
        <addressdomain='0x0000'bus='0x01'slot='0x00'function='0x0'/>
    4.
        </source>
    5.
        <addresstype='pci'domain='0x0000'bus='0x00'slot='0x02'function='0x0'/>
    6.
        </hostdev>


You'll be able to use this file to tell libvirt to append your GPU to guest's config at runtime, which somehow gets around the invalid ROM issue. Just run something like this :
virsh start Win10Full && sleep 60 && virsh attach-device --live --file 
./GPU_DEVICE.xml
If I guessed right, windows should detect a new GPU and get the drivers in place once virsh is done mounting it. If that does work, you'll gave to run this same command every time you start your VM too, or at least until that specific bug is fixed. Hopefully that should get you some results so you can work your way from there.

I was going to recommend you use UEFI, which is why I was asking. I've personally had better luck getting things to pass through properly.

Is your VM down when you try to cat the rom? The GPU needs to be unused by anything.

I had the exact same symptoms on my Asus Strix 970, looks like a recurring issue with Asus cards. This happenned both when trying to start a VM with a managed passthrough and when attempting to dump the ROM from sysfs. I figured it's probably an issue with vfio-pci itself, and I still haven't fixed it wet, but the solution I posted above is my current workaround.
