Hi
Yes, this works.
If this is for R&D or a Lab etc, then great. But if you're planning to use it on a larger scale in a datacenter for enterprise type workloads, then please read the NVIDIA EULA first ... :-)

Are you sure ?
That is something new in NVidia driver. Every previous attempt failed with "[b]Code 43[/b]" in guest driver.

There is some workarounds for KVM (hiding hypervisor) but not for XenServer,
[i]My opinion: It is probably possible to enable GTX 1080 as vGPU card ("turbo" Tesla P4) and use vGPU P4-* profiles for VM ([url]https://gridforums.nvidia.com/default/topic/8934/[/url]).[/i]
Hi MC
Yes, have done it myself about 2 weeks ago. Physical workstation with XS 7.5 installed and GTX 1080 TI. Requires BIOS modification so that XS doesn't grab the 1080 for its self, but works absolutely fine :-)

Guys,
this is not the right place to discuss topics that violate our EULA. For sure there are ways to do so but this is not permitted as we don't allow to use Geforce in virtualized environments.

I would like to passthrough my GTX 1080 to a VM using XenServer (XenDesktop).
Is this possible with a consumer card?
