Does anyone know if the pro version, or some version of VMWare Workstation would let me do this? I know that ESXi does, but I don't want to turn my entire home computer into an ESXi host, nor do I have the money to buy a home server or powerful enough workstation to set this up on.Īre there any options that won't break the bank for home use that will allow me to share my GPU power with my guest VM?Ģx 512 GB SSD (running the guest OS on my secondary "storage" SSD)Įdit: Almost forgot, I have a spare GTX 570 (I know, it's old) sitting around that I could install as well. So I researched a bit, and my conclusion is that there is no way to pass my host GPU through to the guest VM using VMWare Workstation. That leads to issues when running GPU intensive applications obviously. The one limitation that I've run into is that I can't pass my GPU on my host through to the guest VM, so any graphical stuff on the VM is handled by my CPU. The graphic acceleration is enabled, and 3D performance is also very good.I set up VMWare Workstation (free) at home this weekend, and have a Windows 7 Pro VM installed. MacOS Catalina virtual machine on Proxmox VE with the GPU Passthrough enabled shows an impressive performance. Now we have successfully enable the GPU Passthrough on macOS Catalina. The benchmark uses Ultra quality and 1600 x 900 (full screen) on three systems. And, if you have multiple GPU, you can connect to multiple monitors as well. It will act as an ordinary monitor connected to a PC. But I got 70 FPS on this Virtual machine. By using GPU Passthrough feature in Proxmox, you can connect your monitor directly to the HDMI port on the graphic card in your Proxmox server. I only get 68.5 FPS on my AMD Ryzen + RX 580, and 59.7 FPS on AMD FX 8350 + RX 570. The total score 1763 and average FPS is 70.Īs a comparison, you may take a look at my previous benchmark result of my macOS Catalina installed on AMD FX8350.

Unigine Heaven shows an impressive result. Here are some screenshots showing the synthetic benchmark result using some software. Please note that the GPU Passthrough only available for one VM at a time. You can also enable the USB Passthrough for your USB keyboard and mouse. You should be able to use the external monitor directly to the macOS virtual machine since its not use the GPU Passthrough feature.

Or, connect a monitor to your graphic card directly. In some cases, you still able to use the Console on Proxmox dashboard. Start the VM and then connect to the VM using VNC Viewer software from other computer.
