About your first question, you have to add the device to a VM via Pass-Through and then you have to install driver in the VM.

Read the above link, it will help you to configure that.

About second question, you should check your devices compatibility before installing ESXi or any other software.

Please check your hardware compatibility on this link: VMware Compatibility Guide - System Search

Hi LuiHouse

Can I ask what you are trying to achieve with the GPU? Is this for Horizon or XenDesktop

You may also get issues passing this through if VMWare is using this card, you will need to force VMWare via the BIOS to use the onboard or another GPU to use this card
