It'd be great of this meant SR-IOV for all GPUs, but this seems like it only allows for sharing of a GPU to multiple guests. And even then, with most of the driver being on the GPU this might not help regular consumer GPUs at all (features being disabled in firmware). But I really don't know anything about what this actually means.

Would that allow me to split my main GPU for my host and my VM so I can play trough looking-glass? Currently running a 4070Ti and a 4060Ti in the same tower which is quite stupid as I basically have one of them idling all the time.
Can someone dumb it down for me what this means for people at home? Any impact on Linux gaming?
It means you can split your GPU into multiple vGPUs and pass them through to Virtual machines I believe. Similar to what we do with cpu
Pretty much nothing, except that NVIDIA doesn't care about the average gamer on Linux, only corps
