Somebody know if free ESXi can handle vGPU? According to https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/products/vsphere/vmware-vsphere-vsom-pricing-whitepaper.pdf there is no vGPU limitation mentioned: "VMware vSphere Hypervisor is a free product that provides a simple and easy way to get started with virtualization at no cost. vSphere Hypervisor provides only basic virtualization capabilities, allowing customers to virtualize servers and run applications in virtual machines in a matter of minutes. vSphere Hypervisor cannot connect to vCenter Server and therefore cannot be centrally managed. Users can remotely manage individual vSphere Hypervisor hosts using the vSphere Client. There are no restrictions on the number of cores per physical CPU, on the number of physical CPUs per host and on the amount of RAM per server/host. The maximum vCPUs per virtual machine is eight." For sure it is mentioned in "Ent+" and "Plat" licensing...

It doesn't say: https://www.nakivo.com/blog/free-vmware-esxi-restrictions-limitations/

yeah, found some articles like the one you linked but havent read about vGPU limitation...

Me either.

I haven't found it in writing yet, but i seem to remember that you need enterprise plus for vGPU to work

But nothing abt free version 🙂

i just bought the vmug advantage

200$ for a year and that allows you to test most of what vmware has to offer

It is an excellent deal

indeed

Makes you wonder why Citrix doesn't have a similar deal? 🤔🙄

Yeah Ent+ at minimum

For free you could go XS or Nutanix CE
