Ok. So they are different?
How do I tell which motherboards support IOMMU?
I can’t find it as a filter or search option on any websites…?

Its your CPU and yes it does support it as all Intel CPUs made within the last few years have support.

Yes they are different. VT-d is purely a function of the CPU (passed the BIOS enabling option).
First you will want to look at the output of
acpidump | egrep “DMAR|IVRS”, then you will also want to very that IOMMU groups don’t group your GFX with something that won’t be passed through using something like: gist.github.com/…/ba2d738985fce8990a4e9f32d07c6ad…nemanin@lemmy.world 3 months ago
This is in proxmox?
How can I tell if my mobo even supports it?

Run those two commands in the command line, post the result here

Are you sure? I though Vt-d is the Intel virtualization extension that is used my IOMMU
wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Yes I’m sure, they are related and you need VT-d for IOMMU but not all motherboard isolate all the PCIe devices separately. Server/Enterprise boards always do, but consumer grade stuff can be hit or miss. Maybe it’s a little better with more recent hardware though, I haven’t checked in a couple of gens.

Can you name an Intel system from the last 2 years that doesn’t support it?

There are THOUSANDS of its impossible to know for sure sadly.
