Workstation Pro - Does it support GPU passthrough?

Looking at buying Workstation Pro to run on Linux OS with a Windows VM. .

Simple Q. Does Workstation Pro support GPU passthrough? Any docs you can point me too?

Thanks

No, it does not.  At this point in time, none of the hosted products support that.

That's a shame and it just cost them a sale. As more people convert from Win7 to Linux to avoid Win10, they could make a killing by supporting this feature. There's definitely a market for it.

I'll be sticking with the Open Source versions for the moment then. Cheers.

Me, too.

No more workstation purchases until GPU passthru is implemented. Too many browser and other functions rely on GPUs now ... workstation products that can't access GPUs are at a significant disadvantage.

VMware ... are you listening??
