    A little update:

    There is a hard lock on the tasks you can run with any GPU. The difference is that with any other gpu besides the 1650 you can run the tasks smoothly instead of it being run 90-100% gpu at all times. There is a way with a combination of tasks where you can put the 1650 to run at 100% but there is a sort of bug where the usage drops to less than 5% with all tasks running and while it does that the AI won't trigger at all. The 1660 and other cards stay below 100% with max amount of tasks and they don't miss a beat triggering the alerts.

     

    So if you planning to use this for real I recommend you get a 1660 as they are marginally more expensive than a 1650 and produce better results.

     

    For shits and giggles I tried a 2080ti too and this is what I saw:

    Max number of tasks:

    1650  - 90-100% gpu load

    1660 -  65-75% gpu load

    RTX 4000  60-70% gpu load

    2080 TI - 35-40% gpu load 

     

    I wish the dva3221 didn't have any hard cap of the number tasks you could run because I could use the 2080ti to its full potential even if it consumes a lot more power. 

    "There is a hard lock on the tasks you can run with any GPU" - How to activate it?

    I would recommend adding a serial port in the VM options, dump the output to a log file. After booting your VM, keep checking the serial log file for hints (you can access the log file from datastore).

     

    It may tell you which driver has issue.

     

    P.S. double check "secure boot" option, it needs to remain disabled.

    Here is the configuration on ESXi 7.0 U2

    Boot ok, but not getting IP....

    P/s: Same settings, I run it on ESXi 6.7 server, it works 😀

    I use 3615x VM in ESXi 7.02u with passthrough of a NIC and a SAS HBA .

    I passed both Intel and Realtek types of NICs and both were recognized properly.

     

    Have you set your card mac correctly in grub.cfg? set mac1=?

    May be your problem is that you are reusing an ESXi 6.7 VM in 7 ??!, Try create a new fresh one in 7 and see what happens.

    Try experiment with a different model with a different loader and see what happens.

    you are booting DS3617 as virtual USB synoboot.vmdk or sata synoboot.vmdk? Of course I fixed the card's MAC. I booting DS3167 as sata synoboot.vmdk is ok but virtual USB synoboot.vmdk isn't IP received. And of course my ESXi 6.7 and ESXi 7 on 2 different physical servers.

    # VMware virtual USB mass storage
set vid=0x0e0f
set pid=0x0005

    May I ask how to get this parameter?

    i think the vid and pid parameters have been changed on ESXi 7.0 so i can't use the loder file you created.
