GPU virtualization in vSphere can be configured to optimize graphics application performance by following these steps:
1. Ensure that the host server has a compatible GPU.
1. Install the appropriate drivers for the GPU on the host.
1. Enable shared PCI device passthrough on the host. This allows the guest operating system to directly access the GPU.
1. Create a virtual machine with the required specifications (CPU, RAM, etc.)
1. Add a virtual GPU device to the virtual machine by navigating to the VM’s settings and selecting “Add Other Device” and “PCI Device.”
1. Select the shared GPU from the available PCI devices.
1. Install the necessary drivers and software for the virtual GPU on the guest operating system.
1. Configure the virtual machine to use the virtual GPU for graphics processing. This can be done through the guest operating system’s display settings.
1. Test the configuration to ensure that the GPU is being used effectively and that graphics application performance is optimized.
