Hi bodies

I've tried to install a software at my lab but it needs opengl 1.2 or higher but in manyways i trid to upgrade opengl for esxi and didnt work at all.

next i trid to install a graphic harware cARD  and passthrough it but again i couldnt solve the problem and in my vm the graphic card is unknown but i installed that driver without anyproblem.

What is your guest OS?

What application are you trying to run?

Have you enabled 3D acceleration on the virtual machine?

How much video memory have you assigned?

vSphere 5.5 should support OpenGL 2.1 in a Windows virtual machine.

Hi Linjo

My guest OS is Win 7 x 64 for a smart video management system(Axxon)

I enabled 3D acceleration

and give 512 MB to it

this is the problem why the vSphere doesn't bring me OpenGL 2.1

Also I installed Graphic Hardware and passthrough it into Esxi but when i tried to add PCI to my guest OS after booting the driver was unknown for the OS i couldn't realized why?!

My Graphic Hardware Was Nvidia 7300
