Re: how to install Nvidia driver in the virtual box
You wouldn't run the Nvidia driver in the VM, because the VM will not see the Nvidia card in the host, and so the Nvidia driver won't find it when run in the VM.
The only physical computer part the VM sees is the CPU, nothing else. All the other 'hardware' in the VM, including the video card, is virtual, and Virtualbox has no way to pass a physical video card into the VM.

really appreciate for your reply, I get that, so if I want to run the physical GPU, do you know any method to make it? thanks!scottgus1 wrote:You wouldn't run the Nvidia driver in the VM, because the VM will not see the Nvidia card in the host.

If you want to do programming on the host video card you'll have to do it in the host OS, not inside Virtualbox.
