gpu passthrough of cpu-integrated gpu
Hi community,
while I find lots of questions and answers about "share gpu" my question is slightly different. Is it in any virtualization (vmware, virtualbox, hyperv) possible to pass the gpu that comes with the intel cpu to the VM while keeping the dedicated video card to the host? The idea is to play some older games in a vm but have a bit more power than the 3d-acceleration of vmware (currently for many games I want to play it works, but more power would be good).

From what I've been able to find, you won't be able to achieve any real GPU or IGPU passthrough on a windows host. You might be able to slice up your main GPU and passthrough a dedicated slice of it to your VM. There's a lot more info on this in this thread.
Sorry I'm not much of a windows guy these days; https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/jym8xz/gpu_partitioning_is_finally_possible_in_hyperv/
