Will this work?

Can you check in your BIOS/UEFI if VT-X and VT-D are enabled? The script might be reporting it incorrectly.

Hello!

I found someone who has passthrough running perfectly with MSI GT70, I have the GS70 (slim version) which reportedly has VT-X (I believe it works, based on running VM's with Windows as host) however no option in BIOS & other users reporting on MSI website issues with VT-X.

Unsure whether Muxed or muxless?
MS70 has display output ports (hdmi and md), integrated intel card and nvidia.
Following this guide https://gist.github.com/Misairu-G/616f7b2756c488148b7309addc940b28 I end up with this error while binding

sudo echo "10de 11e1" > "/sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id"
bash: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id: Permission denied

Having a laptop with passthrough setup would be absolutely amazing - solving a lot for me!
Is there a chance you could help me get this working (or worst case scope confirm a few high end laptop; i'm aware of your website). Happy to hire you / well earned donation with all your work, it's really that needed!

sudo+echo to a file isn't that simple. I thimk you could use tee for that or you do it like this:

sudo bash -c "echo '10de 11e1' > '/sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id'"

...
If you can run normal VMs on that notebook, then you csn be sure VT-X is enabled. However, VT-D may not be. My script may say that it is enabled, but it could very well be wrong.
Try to list your IOMMU groups. I think if that doesn't work then we can assume VT-D is not enabled in your BIOS/UEFI.
Should that be the case and there is no option to enable it in the BIOS/UEFI then you'd probably have to mod your BIOS/UEFI in order to reveal that option.
I had to do something like that for my notebook, but I'm not an expert on that topic. In fact I messed it up so badly the first time that I had to buy one of these https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32957821101.html to fix it.
But the people in the BIOS modding forums are generally very knowlegable and helpful if you ask nicely.

Superb thanks for your response!

The next error to tackle:
qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,x-pci-sub-device-id=0x10ee,x-pci-sub-vendor-id=0x1462,multifunction=on,romfile=MyGPU.rom: vfio error: 0000:01:00.0: group 1 is not viable
Please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver.
DNSMASQ terminated

I will try seobios mod and report back.

Your iGPU doesn't show up in that output. Have you installed Bumblebee? If so, please run optirun lspci -v.
If not, then your iGPU might be disabled in the BIOS/UEFI. In that case you have to find the option and enable it.
Or maybe something else is going on with your software.
Do you know if the iGPU was ever accessable on your system?
Also, are you 100% certain your system even has an iGPU?
According to the output you have a CPU from Intel's XEON E3-1200 v3 or v4 series.
If it is an E3-1220 v3 for instance then this would mean that your CPU is lacking an iGPU.
