Share the graphics card in VMware

[mnabeelam]

I have a graphics card that is installed into the workstation and on the workstation I installed an OS/VMWare, how I can install this graphics card into a VMware machine even that Windows platform or Linux platform?

Please guide

Thanks

What VMware product/version are you using?

Are you using VMware Workstation, or some other VMware product?

VMWare Workstation 17 and Fusion 13

So you have Workstation running on a Windows or Linux system AND Fusion running on a Mac?

Either way, I'm pretty sure that passthrough is only an option in ESXi, not in either Workstation or Fusion.

This post on Workstation is worth reading: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/VMware-Workstation-17-Pro-supports-use-of-h...

You cannot share the graphics card with the virtual machine.  Install the VMware Tools in the virtual machine - they contain drivers for the emulated graphics card, network card, etc.
