passing thought gpu to [[Proxmox]] lxc container

- install nvidia drivers on the host
- install partial drivers in the lxc
- blacklist novel (something like that) drvier
	- black list files are in ``
	- edit `/etc/modprobe.d/pve-blacklist.conf` or create own .conf if it doesn't exist
	- add following lines
		- `blacklist nouveau`
		- `options nouveau modeset=0`
	- exec `update-grub`
	- exec `update-initramfs -u`
	- reboot
- enable power management on the host
	- exec `nvidia-smi -pm 1`
	- you will need to create a system service that starts this a boot
