unless you have a custom chip and software you can only dedicate it to one VM at a time via direct pass-through

It is possible but IIRC only works with specific hypervisors and has additional licensing costs. https://docs.nvidia.com/grid/latest/grid-vgpu-user-guide/index.html

^^ what he said

I think AMD has a similar technology for their cards called MxGPU or somthing.

MxGPU, but doesn't include h264 encoding on the first gen hardware. Second gen supposedly has it, but I haven' seen one in the wild. Ever.

vGPU works for certain hypervisors as Kardonxt said - not sure if hyper-v is one of them.

i found that
esxi 7
and
nvidia virtual gpu manager ( Quadro vDWS ) (expensive licensing fee)
did the job

Does it work well? I have never had the chance to actually put a setup like this together. The clients always scoff at the GPU costs and licensing fees.

Amazingly well. I’ve watched full screen 1080P video from an airplane WiFi before with it; over vpn. (As a test. Not being an asshole). Just expensive.
