Is NVidia Tesla M2075 compatible with ESXi 5.1?

Hi,

We have troubles with a NVidia Tesla M2075 graphic card. In ESXi 5.0 U2 the hardware no recognise the graphic card and show me as unknow devices.

We are try using passtrough utility but nothing has gone right (unknow device)

After surfing in different forums and blogs, we have seen the posibility to upgrade hypervisor to ESXi 5.1 and use VSGA (virtual shared graphics acceleration).

Our question is to know if our Graphic Card installed in the ESXi is going to use the GPU for all the virtual machines.

Aparently the M2070-Q is EOL and is being replaced with the M2075. I'd imagine that NVIDIA will update the driver bundle to reflect this.
