Passthrough videocard for Vmware ESXi 5.5

[VikJel]

Hello.

Help me pick a video card with hdmi to carryover in win7 64. Tried forwarding an graphics card Sapphire Radeon HD 5750, but for some reason CCC does not see the graphics card, despite the fact that it is in the list of video cards (windows Device Manager) and her driver installed without problems.

My configuration:

Motherboard ASRock Z97 EXTREME6

Processor Intel Core i7-4790

Hard Drive SSD 250GB, 2.5 ", SATA III, Samsung 850 EVO Series, MZ-75E250BW

The memory module for PC DIMM DDR3, 8GB, PC3-12800, 1600MHz, Kingston, KVR16N11 / 8

I've succeded in passing thru my HD6450, and before that, a test with a HD5750 was ok.

in summary, disable the onboard gpu, set the vm to use EFI bios, and if the win7 VM has more than 2GB of memory, you need to add to the vmx file:

pciHole.start = "1200"

pciHole.end = "2200"

good luck.
