Feature Request: GPU Passthrough

I Have been using VMware Workstation for one Year.

This is a Feature Request to add GPU Passthrough into VMware Workstation Because VMware 16 is good but... When i Ran Autodesk Mudbox in VMware but it says Graphics Card not supported.

i would like this to be sent to the Developer team.

I Take this Very seriously and we need this! QEMU KVM Does not Work Well on my Laptop. I Tried For MONTHS And virt-manager KVM Passthrough Wont work at all!

And i am NOT A ESXI User!  I am a home User.

GPU Passthrough For Everyday Users Should be the Widespread.

PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE!

If you're expecting a response from VMware, I don't think you're going to get one. 

This is a user-to-user forum, not an official VMware support forum. VMware folks do participate in this forum and they may see your enhancement request, but they rarely comment on whether they're actually going to implement them.

(and fyi, in the case of ESXI, its GPU passthrough means the GPU hardware is being dedicated to a single VM. ESXi doesn't have to worry about sharing that GPU with a host operating system like Workstation does.)
