Re: bhyve nvidia gtx-1650 mobile passthru on win11

Hello Stephan,

Yes, I can't run nvidia when "dynamic graphics" are enabled on bios, but I
will continue to search if there is some config tweak for it.

I've just found and I'm reading about a setup identical to mine (hybrid
mode):
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/how-to-nvidia-in-hybrid-mode.90473/

I will post my results soon.

Cheers,
