> Pre-Ampere GPUs (Ampere+ is MIG)

More complex than that. MIG covers compute use cases only. For workloads where graphics are needed (or even the graphics APIs), you have to use preemptive scheduling, even on Ampere.

No. It's gone on Gen11 and later. :/ And no replacement yet.

> MxGPU is only supported on some FirePro cards

Forget about AMD cards for GPU virtualisation. The modern GIM drivers aren't public. So you're stuck with very old out of support GPUs.

The OSS NV KM stack doesn't support GPU virt at all yet.
