I am using an NVidia Geforce 1080 gtx Ti in the host computer.

To me after using VMWorkstation for more than 18 years it seems like it is a bug.

Willing to help find the issue I would adventure to say that is probably coming from the fact that nowadays most of the motherboards always come with an integrated graphics card apart from the optional dedicated. It could be possible that your driver is not selecting the proper host graphics adapter selecting the integrated instead of the dedicated. Again this is nowadays a common error in some applications where developers, like me, need to properly select the most empowered device available. Being trivial to make it usually by asking for their information.

Please make this specific change and hopefully it will help!
