niel07 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I successfully installed Yosemite 10.10 on ESXi 5.1. i'm trying to passthrough GPU. I'm having Radeon HD 7770. In ESXi under configuration and advance setting.. It is showing gradeout and says host doesnot support pass through configurtion.I enabled the Virtualization and VT for Direct I/0 in PC BIOS but still in ESXi passthrough is gradeout. Pls someone put light on the issue.Note: Intel tool tested for Virtualization and VT is positive.http://techiezone.rottigni.net/2013/11/installing-mavericks-on-esxi-5-1/http://ark.intel.com/products/65702/Intel-Core-i5-3570-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHzMy PC configuration- CPU: Intel i5-3570 Lvy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4 Ghz LGA1155- Motherboard #: Intel Q77 Express- Video: Radeon HD 7770 GHZ Edition 1GB GDDR5 FLEX- OS X Yosemite 10.10- MY dell bios ver A19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you try ESXi 5.5 U2. Also you have a Dell machine, can you give us the actual model please? Finally VT-d passthu is very tricky to get working and many devices simply do not work.

Donk Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Did you power cycle the machine after setting the BIOS? That is power down, pull the power cord for 30-60s then power on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technobro Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 HI, i encourage you to continue trying. i dont want to discourage you As you said cpu compatible , chipset compatible. technically. But i think its Dell fault for not implementing it correctly in their bios. many peoples had the same problem whit asus awhile ago. Personally i used asrock and it always been available.... I had to put pci gpu first and disable audio and other trick to make it work I think its your board maybe post a picture of you bios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
