Why not use normal GPU passthrough? I don't see how you can use this to share a GPU between multiple VMs, so what is the benefit of using this software over normal GPU passthrough with vfio-pci drivers?

With normal passthrough, your host loses access to the gpu, no? So you need to have two gpus, one for the host and one for the guest. Correct me, if I am wrong, but this should make the host fully operational on a single gpu and still let vm guests have headless access to the host gpu.
Is it really that simple to split an Nvidia GPU between multiple users like that? I thought that you have to have specific drivers which support that.
GeForce GPUs don’t support MIG. Only workstation and data center cards do that.
that's paid
README mentions it supports up to 4 guests at a time sharing the GPU.
I am wondering how they managed to achieve that without using Nvidia vGPU drivers.
