Sorry, not really. Just a pointer, that might be helpful.

Common wisdom in the FreeNAS (based on FreeBSD) community says that
reliable PCI passthrough is a complicated matter of picking exactly the few
„good“ components and in the end not a good idea, anyway.

You might want to start with this thread:

Sorry I could not be of more help.

Kind regards
Patrick
