Hello VMware-ers,
I've struggled with this GPU issue for a while. See my setup below, and let me know if anyone has any ideas!
Problem: Any sort of stress on the GPU and it crashes the guest, and restarts. In order to utilize the GPU after the crash (even running shell commands in esxi host), require you to reboot the host. Small memory dumps are uploaded below. With the GPU/VM in pass-through, I have to use VNC to login.
Thank you for any help/suggestions!
