Assuming you installed ESXi to a USB or SD card or other removable media, or if you can simply remove the drive you installed to, you can try a reinstall on new external media and see if it fixes it. If it doesn't, revert back to your old install.

If you aren't a viewer of Gamer's Nexus and are looking for a workstation card specifically for a great price, check out this content. Apparently EVGA got a batch of non-validated TU104 dies that were cut down to make the RTX2060 KO for US $299. The 2060 is normally a smaller TU106 die. It...

Yep. Had the same issue with my first install of ESXi for some unknown reason. I did a fresh install for another, unrelated issue and it fixed it. vCenter did not show the same behavior, but ESXi 6.7 U3b did.

Got the new PSU and 2nd GPU in. Everything works like a charm! I pinned the terminal server VM to the 2nd NUMA node since it's carrying the 2nd GPU and that will prevent resource starvation between the terminal server and the gaming PC. I have to give credit to Linus Tech Tips for giving me...

I had serious boot issues when trying to pass through 1 of 2 controllers on an Allegro USB 3.2 4-port card. I've read others having the same experiences. In theory the 2 controller show up as 2 separate PCIe devices and you can pass one through to one VM and one through to the other. In...

The main thing for Windows clients is to add 'hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"' to the .vmx. Otherwise the GeForce drivers detect the hypervisor and refuse to work. Nvidia wants you to use quadros in passthrough, of course .

The fact that I've wasted the last half-hour playing Doom makes me feel like I figured it out. Check out this article from Nvidia. I added this to the VM .vmx and so far it's been rock solid. VMware vDGA / GPU Passthrough Requires That MSI is Disabled on VMs | NVIDIA

Well, it was worth a shot. I limited the VM to the same NUMA node / die that is carrying the GPU. Same result. Crashed after about 15 minutes of playtime. Ran a perfmon trace during the game and never saw any real storage latency, even from the spinning HDD array. Hoping for better luck...

I hadn't thought about that. I'm sure game designers never imagined their games being played on this topology. Gonna give this a try!

I, too, would expect a host-wide event during a low power situation. Only thing I was thinking was that the GPU may have gotten a little low on available power causing a hiccup that crashed the API and the game along with it. New PSU will be here tomorrow so we'll soon know! The 5700xt is...

Thanks! It's literally a patchwork quilt of parts that I've collected through the years. I have gamed on this hardware back when it was a Hyper-V host with no problem. Back then it didn't have the RAID card or all the storage, though. It was just the 1080ti, a couple NVME drives and that was...

In lieu of purchasing a gaming PC for the TV in my den I decided to just spin up a Win 10 VM on my 1950X ESXi host and run extended active HDMI & USB 3.0 cables to it (about 5 meters). I passed through a GTX 1080ti and a dedicated USB3 PCIe card with no issues. I easily get 60fps when playing...
