Vmware gpu passthrough

broken image

The VM refuses to use the Nvidia GPU and just defaults to the VMWare SVGA 3D driver and won't use the Nvidia card for Blender, games, or anything else that I'm trying to GPU accelerate. After many hours of struggling just getting the VM to boot (hint, there's not much good literature on what the memory mapping value needs to be), I got the VM to boot and installed the drivers and everything is working great!

I'm working on an application where I'm passing a GPU (Nvidia RTX 6000 passive) into a VM in ESXi 7u2.
