PCIe Passthrough in ESXi 7

I am having an issue with PCIe passthrough in ESXi 7.

I have both an NVidia and AMD GPU in the server.  The AMD GPU was exhibiting the symptom noted here: https://tinkertry.com/vmware-vsphere-esxi-7-gpu-passthrough-ui-bug-workaround

Executing the workaround in that post solved the issue for the AMD GPU, but for the NVidia GPU, it just stays in the "Enabled / Needs Reboot" state. 

I have tried disabling the AMD GPU and the NVidia GPU remains in this state - toggling passthrough does not affect the behavior.

Is there something new in ESXi 7 that keeps two different GPUs from being passed through simultaneously in ESXi7?  Is this a known issue that support can provide a patch/workaround for?

Figured I would check here to see if I'm missing something before I open a ticket.
