Hey
Just wanted to say that this is entirely possible and works fine in a Windows 10 1809 VM.
Ive used my Intel NUC 7i5BNK which has the Core i5-7260U CPU with Intel Iris Plus 640 graphics. It currently has 8GB DDR4 memory and a 128GB Intel 600p NVMe SSD.
ESXi 6.7 Update 1 runs from a Sandisk USB stick.
The key to getting this to work is:
1. Enable Passthrough of the Intel Graphics, usually this sits on this address in ESXi: 0000:00:02.0, then reboot the ESXi host.
2. Add this GPU to the Windows 10 VM and reserve all memory dedicated to the VM.
3. Set these 2 values under VM Options - Advanced - Configuration Parameters - Edit Configuration:
pciHole.start=2048
SVGA.Present=FALSE
4. Make sure you have enabled RDP, teamviewer or similar to access the VM. After you enable GPU Passthrough you wont see the console through VMWare anymore.
5. Start the VM and install the appropriate graphics drivers from Intel.
Hope this helps
