Two gaming stations, one graphics card

Is it possible to take each 'HDMI out' from a single gaming graphics card and have each port show each VM?

If not.. is it possible to have two graphics cards, a low end and high end; the high end doing all the work + displaying one of the VMS, and the low end card displaying the second VM?

Why?

I'd like to have a gaming computer that will have Steam installed on. + I'd also like to be able to play Steam games on my TV.

Steam streaming? Unfortunately wont work as I'd still like the PC to be usable whilst games are being played on the TV. I figured the best thing I could do would be have two separate VMs, both with Windows + Steam installed, pointed to the same library location.

Any other solutions are very welcome!

Hi,

You posted this on the vSphere forum whereas your question "running steam games in a VM" and directly attached graphics cards is not exactly the type of workload to run on servers.

So not with vSphere and not in your set (1 PC)

Also please do not cross-post the same question over the forum.
