So I am running a DELL R710, which is supported, and wanted to have a GPU passthrough, so I put a Quadro K4000 in it, they are supported too.

I have managed to trick at least one guest Windows 10 to passthrough. (it feels like you have to trick these things)

One problem, the K4000 has one DVI port and two DisplayPorts, and only the DVI works for passthrough.

Any ideas on the DisplayPorts?

I am a complete nubcake, only been using ESXi for two days. Should I give up and count my blessings, I have one port working?

Thanks in advance.

I think it is a driver issue. What version of the driver is everyone using (Quadro K4000)?

Thanks for reading. I have solved the problem.

1) You have to get a USB card with passthrough.

2) You have to tell windows not to use the VMware display adapter,

3) Don't buy non-compliant DisplayPort cables!

So if you have this problem. see above.
