- Nvidia graphics card working on VMware workstation 10. This is still issue, because last Vmware 3D driver for Windows XP is 2,5 years old and probably will be never upgraded, so only solution for proper Win XP gaming is not virtualization but physical machine, or Unraid.
- Depending on hypervisor, you will need tweaks to get the client OS and its VM to accept the GPU and successfully load drivers; consumer GPUs (at least by Nvidia) tend to block use in VMs. For VMware ESXi VMs, this is mostly handled with the VMX setting hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = 'FALSE'.

I just installed VMware workstation pro with windows 10 and it isnt detecting my GPU. I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB vRAM. No nvidia control panel is on the system and when i try to install nvidia geforce experience or manually install the drivers for the GPU it tells me it doesnt detect an nvidia GPU on my system. I looked in device manager and the only display adapter listed is 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter'. I tried uninstalling the adapter and restarting to no avail.
Any idea how i can get this thing to recognize the GPU??
Thanks

I have a Dell XPS with an NVIDIA GT540 card and it's with Optimus. The main OS is Windows 7.
I have installed Windows 8 inside VMware Workstation 8, and it works very slowly. Inside NVIDIA Control Panel it tells me that no application is using the GPU. Why?
Why is the VM using the Intel GPU when I have an NVIDIA at my disposal?
UPDATE: well, I installed vmware tools and the performance has improved. But still I sense nVidia is not getting used. :(
UPDATE: And now that I see in the notification area,
Hennesvmx.exe
is indeed using my gpu. :) yipeee!!60.1k77 gold badges9494 silver badges143143 bronze badges

A virtual machine does not get direct access to your hardware. The hypervisor emulates hardware, what hardware that is emulated depends on which hypervisor you are using.
The Vmware Compatibility Guide includes details about exactly what Guest Operating systems are supported. Windows 8 is not on the list.
For supported guest operating systems VMware does provide a set of drivers for officially support Operating systems that greatly improve the performance of this emulation. With Windows 7 the graphics performance is good enough for Aero to work. Windows 8 is not supported, and I would bet is not likely to be supported for a while.

To my knowledge, most VMs use a special guest driver to emulate graphics; in some cases, passing the host GPU's capabilities via the aforementioned guest driver.
VirtualBox's user manual describes how VirtualBox (in particular) emulates 2D/3D acceleration.

Your virtual machine doesn't have a virtual nVidia card to use. The physical machine has a physical nVidia card, and presumably it's using it. Virtual machines operate on virtual hardware or physical hardware that is virtualized. The video card is not virtualized.

About Linux..
You would be able to use PCI Passthrough at least under Linux, but Optimus is a big show-stopper in this. Spy car hacked games for kids. There's a possibility if you have a video output connected to the Nvidia GPU (some laptops have it), but you'd lose portability in exchange of this feature (and this sucks a lot in a laptop).
There's Intel GVT-d|s|g 'vGPU' (Intel insists in calling it Graphics Virtualization Technology because Nvidia used vGPU term in their proprietary solution, but I find vGPU a lot easier to remember) in Linux, this is a nice start. The code got merged in Linux kernel and it seems relevant stuff to vanilla Linux kernel itself too (not 100% sure). The relevant code still didn't get merged to upstream repositories of Qemu and Xen hypervisor (there are Intel forks of Xen and Qemu with GVT-g support, but no news about merging since more than TWO years.
Nvidia has a similar technology, they call it vGPU and is part of NVIDIA GRID. Unfortunately, this technology is very proprietary and it seems to be only offered to servers. I'm not sure if Quadro drivers support something similar and if someone was able to use these drivers on consumer hardware, I hope someone can explain more about this.
There's has been many heroes (one at reddit, other's at Red Hat's vfio-users mailing list trying to make PCI Passthrough over Intel GVT (vGPU), but I didn't see any success stories about it.
I saw people having issues with GVT-g alone on reddit. I saw an early 2017 guide by kraxel and himself mentions at early 2017 about locally displaying vGPU output too.

Anyway, I'll do some more research and after some experiments, I'll write a detailled e-mail to Intel GVT-g mailing list.
