ConnectX® Ethernet Driver for VMware® ESXi Server. NVIDIA® Mellanox® Native ESXi drivers enable industry-leading performance and efficiency as non-virtualized environments using hardware offloads such as RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) on VMware vSphere. For an NVIDIA GRID vGPU configuration, verify that you downloaded the vGPU software package from the NVIDIA download site, uncompressed the package, and have the Linux Display Driver (a package component) ready. See Install the VIB for the NVIDIA Graphics Card on the ESXi Host. Also verify that a shared PCI device was added to the virtual machine. AMD’ server graphics products that support MxGPU are certified in VMware’s ESXi as Shared Passthru graphics devices. As part of the certification process, the host driver (vib) runs through VMware’s suite of tests designed to exercise basic and complex GPU operations. Is a purpose-built bare-metal hypervisor that installs directly onto a. To use a Hardware 3D renderer, ensure that graphics hardware is available. See Configuring 3D Graphics. If you update the virtual machine compatibility from ESXi 5.1 and later to ESXi 5.5 and later, reinstall VMware Tools to get the latest SVGA virtual graphics driver and Windows Display Driver Model driver. Verify that you have the Virtual.

Setting Up the SVGA Video Driver for a Windows 95 Guest Operating System Booted from a Physical Disk

This section explains how to configure the video driver in a Windows 95 physical disk installation using VMware Workstation. The steps below assume you are using Windows 95 as one of the operating systems in a dual-boot or multiple-boot configuration. Following these steps, you create separate hardware profiles for your virtual machine and your physical machine. For more details on hardware profiles, see Setting Up Hardware Profiles in Virtual Machines.

1. Boot Windows 95 natively (not in a virtual machine).

2. Right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop, then select Properties.

3. Click the Hardware Profiles tab.

4. Highlight the Original Configuration profile, then click Copy.

5. Name the profile Virtual Machine, then click OK.

You may also want to rename the Original Configuration profile to Physical Machine.

6. Click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.

7. Shut down Windows 95 and reboot the system.

8. Boot into your host operating system (Linux, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003).

9. Start the Windows 95 virtual machine.

10. Select Virtual Machine from the list of profiles when prompted.

11. If you are prompted to select the CPU Bridge, accept the default, then click OK.

12. Restart Windows 95 when prompted.

13. Again, select Virtual Machine from the list of profiles when prompted.

14. When the video card is detected, you are prompted to select which driver you want to install for your new hardware. Click the Select from a list of alternate drivers radio button, then click OK.

15. Select Display Adapters from the Select Hardware Type dialog box.

16. Select Standard Display Adapter (VGA) from the device list, then click OK.

17. Restart Windows 95 when prompted.

18. Install VMware Tools as outlined in Installing a Guest Operating System and VMware Tools, then restart the virtual machine.

19. Start the Device Manager and expand the Display adapters tree.

20. Highlight VMware SVGA. Click Properties.

21. Uncheck Physical Machine, then click OK. Click Close.

22. Shut down Windows 95 and power off the virtual machine.

23. Shut down your host operating system (Linux, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003) and reboot into Windows 95.

24. Select the Physical Machine profile when prompted.

25. Repeat steps 19 through 21 and uncheck Virtual Machine, leaving Physical Machine checked.

You must perform certain preparation tasks on the Windows or Linux host system to use 3D accelerated graphics in a virtual machine.

• On a Windows host, verify that the host has a video card that supports DirectX 9, DirectX 10, DirectX 10.1, or DirectX 11 and the latest DirectX Runtime required for the DirectX version being used.
• On a Linux host, verify that the host has a video card that supports accelerated OpenGL 2.0 if you are using DirectX 9, or OpenGL 3.3 if you are using DirectX 10 or DirectX 10.1, or OpenGL 4.5 if you are using DirectX 11.

  The VMware guest operating system OpenGL driver for Windows and Linux supports the OpenGL 3.3 and OpenGL 4.1 core profile only. The compatibility profile is not supported.

Drivers Vmware Graphics Card

1. Upgrade the video drivers on the host system to the latest versions.
   ATI Graphics drivers are available from the AMD Web site. NVIDIA drivers are available from the NVIDIA Web site. Intel drivers are available from the Intel Web site.
2. If you have a Windows host system, move the Hardware Acceleration slider to the Full position. Option

   Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10	Right-click the desktop and select Personalize > Screen resolution > Advanced Settings > Troubleshoot > Change settings.

3. If you have a Linux host system, run commands to test the host for compatibility.
   1. Verify that direct rendering is enabled.
   2. Verify that 3D applications work.
