A VM configured with both a vGPU and a passthrough GPU fails to start the passthrough GPU#

Description#

Using the current VMware vCenter user interface, it is possible to configure a VM with a vGPU device and a passthrough (direct path) GPU device. This is not a currently supported configuration for vGPU. The passthrough GPU appears in Windows Device Manager with a warning sign, and the following device status:

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

Workaround#

Do not assign vGPU and passthrough GPUs to a VM simultaneously.

Status#

Open
