Pass through not working

Hi,

ESX 6.7 U2 with the latest update. This is a server machine, 2 Xeon, it has one Nvidia 2080 card. At one point I had a VM using the GPU, all was good. But I had to reinstalled ESX from scratch ( change to bigger disk), and now I can't get it to work again.    Note that I have 2 other computers (different model) with V100 cards that are working ok so I'm assuming I know what needs to be done to get this working:

hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE" 

pciPassthru.use64bitMMIO = "TRUE"  

pciPassthru.64bitMMIOSizeGB = "32"

However the VM won't start. Noticed the "Failed to adjust IOMMU: Failure" "PANIC: PCIPassthru: failed to adjust IOMMU mappings"

If I remove the gpu from the virtual machine it starts just fine.

Suggestions?
