I'm aware hardware support on Qubes has been problematic for some users. Luckily, it's looking to get a lot better with the up-and-coming Qubes R4.1 (currently on it's first release candidate). It will be shipping with a fully updated base hypervisor and kernel feature set to allow support for newer hardware.

I'm not quite sure the specifics of your hardware problem, but, feel free to file a bug on the Qubes issue tracker.

Does 3d card passthrough work?

If you're referring to GPU passthrough, then yes, in practice much better with AMD cards then Nvidia cards.

I have been wondering... Instead of exposing the hardware GPU to the appVM, would a Vulkan virtualization work? I.e., VM sees a Vulkan API that forwards calls to a dedicated graphics VM that runs them.

(I understand that getting windos to use them could be hard.)

I don't have any direct knowledge but those kind of solutions create security problems.

Nvidia no longer throws error 43 on new drivers. AMD cards before the 6000 series also have a PCIe reset bug which forces you to reboot the host.
