When can we expect PCI Passthrough support in Vmware Workstation for Linux

Lately I got into discussion with some KVM users that KVM become so advanced now you can even run a Windows 10 guest with full pci passthrough for a modern video card like RTX2080 and play games with minimal overhead in the guest.

 

This got my attention because the last time I used this feature was years ago to make an old ISDN BRI card reachable directly in a KVM guest. It had it's bugs and sometimes needed restart of the whole host because the card disappeared but it worked.

 

Apparently there were developments in this area since then.

 

It's quite a shame that Vmware is not supporting this feature.

 

Although it is not officially supported and on the long run it can cause partial/full kernel panics I had some setups with mixed Vmware+KVM hypervisors on the same host. It is not smart because they fight over the hardware but it WORKS.

 

So I would really like to know if this feature is planned for Vmware because I don't want to install KVM just for this.

 

Thanks
