    Since version 7.0, VirtualBox supports the NEM (Native Execution Manager) mode for other hypervisors. With the NEM, basically all hypervisors can be supported as backend.

    Sometimes, a picture says more than a thousand words: https://imgur.com/a/flar7CO This is Intel SR-IOV graphics virtualization in action.

    This is definitively not expected. You could also try setting the CPU/Mem configuration via VBoxManage. Maybe you get a good error message then. `VBoxManage modifyvm --cpus ` `VBox…

    There is experimental support for VFIO PCI pass-through with VirtualBox-KVM, even for GPUs. Please have a look at https://www.cyberus-technology.de/products/hypervisor

    Yes. Don't expect too much though. 3D acceleration with Virtualbox is rather flaky (independent of using KVM).
