Hi,

I'd like to thank everyone who experiments with vga/gpu passthrough and posts the according system specs! this encouraged me to try it on my system too. here are my specs and results so far:

Motherboard: Asus P8B WS

- Chipset: Intel Cougar Point C206

CPU: Intel i7 2600 w/ iGPU Intel HD 2000

RAM: 8GB (2x 4096MB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1333 DIMM CL9-9-9-24 Dual Kit (non-ECC)

SSD: Corsair Force 3 120GB

(off topic: I'm still looking for a HD Tune bench with the same SDD model and the C206 as it doesn't perform as well as it should. Any hint is greatly appreciated!)

ESXi version: 4.1.0.update1-348481.x86_64

VM:

• OS: Windows 7      Ultimate 64bit

• RAM: 1024MB

• vCPUs: 1

GPUs tested:

iGPU Intel HD 2000

• worked neither as primary nor secondary (device could not be      started)

Zotac Nvidia GeForce 9500

• worked neither as primary nor secondary (device could not be      started)

ATI Radeon HD 4850

• worked neither as primary nor secondary (BSOD atikmdag.sys)

I tried different driver versions and always used a fresh install. I'm also curious and just ordered a 6450 (Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 512MB PCI-E (11190-00-20G) w/ DisplayPort). I'll post whether it works or not as soon as I get my hands on it ^^

cheers

Jason
