No VT-d support for IVB-E on R4E boards
Hi forum,
Just got off the horn with Asus support and they're telling me that there's no support for IOMMU/VT-d (not to be confused with VT-x) on the Rampage IV Extreme boards when using Ivy Bridge-E CPU's. And frankly, I'm a sad panda since I already sold my 3930K.
The following is what Asus support had to say about the matter. I also asked whether Rampage IV Black Edition would support VT-d.
Users on various other forums can confirm that VT-d is fully functional when using the previous Sandy Bridge-E chips. I just want to put this out there and hopefully pressuring Asus into enabling VT-d in their BIOS for IVB-E chips.we have had talks with R&D regarding the matter multiple times but i cant say for sure if anything will come out of them. I cant get a clear answer from them.
For now, my plans of ditching dual-boot are sort of in limbo.

Let me push this up to the BIOS engineers for the Rampage boards and see what they have to say. My view was always that it is CPU dependant but hey I do not use that function at all.

If the 3930K could do VT-d there is no logical reason the 4930K can't.
The 4930K clearly supports VT-d as referenced by it's ARK page here: http://ark.intel.com/products/77780
If it is not working properly the only entity that can fix it is ASUS.MB: ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 (Cooled by Corsair H100i w/ Noctua NF-F12 fans)
RAM: 64GB G.SKILL RipjawsZ 1600 (10-10-10-30)

Yes, I've been waiting too, same deal with R4E and 4930K.
My computer manufacturer (Falcon Computers) worked hard to get me a prerelease bios which I'm trying out, after I've gotten no useful response after talking to ASUS .
I haven't verfied if it actually works yet for vt-d or just pretends, as ASUS bios have had numerous ivrs table problems etc. in the past. I'd attach a copy, but apparently you need special permission by rog for that, as upload attempts are met by "Invalid file", maybe it's too large...4 MB compressed.Last edited by mostlyharmless; 11-22-2013 at 08:48 PM.

Yep, so does Intel's X79 chipset specification. So I figure somewhere along the road Asus must have deliberately disabled it. No idea as to why though. Originally Posted by Necrosan

VT-d is working perfectly fine for SB-E chips. I can personally verify that. My guess is that there is somekind of quirk to be ironed out on the UEFI side for the IB-E chips.
