That would be awesome if we have seamless passthrough, let alone making a GPU be sharable across two or more VMs accessible to mainstream.
For now though its only available for enterprises, type 1 hypervisor and only for a limited set of hardware iirc.
That's where you'd be wrong! I'm running it on my 1080ti right now. It can be hacked into working on just about any Nvidia card that's recent enough to want to use it. A bit of a community has ended up growing around a group that makes patches for the official vGPU drivers, along with merge scripts, to give the hypervisor the ability to retain regular function (accelerated display out through the DP/HDMIs), while also fooling the vGPU part of the driver into thinking the random consumer card is supported. Unfortunately locked down on 30 series and newer :(, but it's still a VERY cool use for a card like the 1080ti that has become VERY cheap
