I can’t even figure out how to tell if it’s supported or not. If it is supported, I can’t figure out how to enable it. If it is enabled, idk where I should be seeing it in proxmox!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
It looks like it should be possible as both your cpu and motherboard support Intel VT-d

PCIe pass through isn’t enabled by default in Proxmox and requires some manual changes to the bootloader (grub or systemd-boot) as well as loading some kernel modules. You may also need to enable VT-d in your BIOS. You can read proxmox’ guide for enabling PCIe pass through here:
Start by going into your firmware setting (hold del on boot) and enabling virtualization and all extensions.
Once that’s done you can just click on add hardware and then ePCI device. If its a GPU it will require more setup.

The thing called bifurcation?
No, bifurcation is s splitting the lanes in the actual l actual slot between devices. Usually for something like an m.2 adapter board.
Well, that’s at least part of my problem. I have no idea what it would be called so it’s hard to google. I guess the underlying technology is all ‘IOMMU’, but each motherboard manufacture and Intel and AMD all have other names for it…
I’m trying to pass an HBA through to a VM for a NAS.
Right, confused it with the splitting of lanes (M.2 x4 bays).
