Can I use nVidia Quadro P4000 in vSGA mode?

Hi everyone,

So I recently installed ESXi Hypervisor 6.5 on a Dell EMC Server PowerEdge T440.

We then procured an nVidia Quadro P4000. Upon scouring the forums and the internet, I do not see anywhere that this GPU can be used in a shared-VM set up. The VIB drivers page for ESXi 6.5 say they are only applicable to GRID GPUs.

I was however able to set it in dedicated GPU mode by using PCI-passthrough. But this is the least favored situation. It would be best if I were able to share the GPU across multiple VMs. Is that not possible?

That's a consumer card and therefore not supported so likely 'no'.
