Hi,
I'm trying ESXi 6.5 with goal to replace my Hyper-V with it in my homelab.
I currently have no issue to install it and running it. I created a first VM with Windows Server 2016 installed on it and I wanted to passthrough my Quadro M2000 GPU to it.
I activated the audio passthrough in the PCi devices of the ESXi host, then I rebooted and was able to activate the passthrough for the whole Quadro card.
Then, problems started
I can see the Quadro M2000 in the W2016 Server devices. I installed nvidia drivers, then i reboot the guest like the drivers install said, and when the VM rebooted, it ended with a BSOD on it. I can boot it in safe mode without issue.
I tried to remove the last quadro driver and install an older one. i tried to change value to "False" to the two entries relative to the svga in the advanced configuration of the VM. Console was gone, normal. With older quadro driver and console disabled, I was able to boot the VM and saw the quado in devices manger of the VM. But with a code 43...
I'm out of idea. I thought Quadro cards was painless to passthrough in ESXi
Regards
PS : I'm able to passthrough this card in Hyper-V with Direct Device Assignement;
