Help With Integrating My GPU Into A Vmware VM? (With Passthru)

[legacyfan]

I'm working on making some legacy windows vms for testing purposes and can't figure out how I can pasthru my 1030 to the vm if anyone could help with this it would be much appreciated (ive even done research into this and still can't find a solution)

What you're thinking of is known as a passthrough. You'd essentially need 2 graphics card: one for the host (main OS), the other for the guest (VM). KVM/QEMU is usually the way it's done, and that requires a Linux setup unless things have changed. Probably be easier to just emulate in 86box, if the CPU is fast enough. Even if you could passthrough, say 9x; that doesn't mean a 1030 would work. You would need an age appropriate graphics card to passthrough, just as you would with a physical computer.
