Vulkan support in 16.2 with windows host os

We'd like to host a virtual machine that needs to run an application with a vulkan dependency.
Host OS is WIndows Server 2019.
Guest OS is windows 10 (21H1)
HOST OS Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 5218 CPU @ 2.30GHz, 2295 Mhz, 16 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s)
Graphics card is NVIDIA P1000 (Pascal Architecture).
From info on internet, we found out that only Turing Architecture is supported. But a known workaround is to set the mks.vk.allowUnsupportedDevices = "TRUE" in the vmx file.

After trying with several other options, we could not manage to get vulkan to work.
In the new features documentation for V16.2 I now found out that vulkan support is there for linux host OS. Does it mean that Windows host OS is totally not supported?

Regards,

From the content of your post, it clearly relates to the Workstation (Pro or Player) product rather than NSX, that means your post needs moving, so I have reported it.
