Hello friend,

  • Vmware workstation Pro 17.6.2 was installed, inside was Ubuntu, please refer to picture 2
  • In VMware setting, only has virtual graphics memory, it can't reference real Nvidia GPU, please refer to picture 3
  • Even computer has GPU, but I only want this GPU will be used by ubuntu within VMware. 
  • I tried to add PCI device in vmware setting, but no this option, please refer to picture 4.
  • Can you help to tell how to make sure Vmware can enable this GPU? Thanks alot.
