My problem is that I need to install some CAD software as ProE in the virtual machine. For to do this I need to have the complete use of all resources of the phisical graphical board. How can I to do this?
If necessary I can also install 2 phisical graphical boards: one is already installed high performance for CAD and that I want to put in charge to the guest machine and the second, normal performance, for the Host machine.
The Host Operating System could be as you prefer windows or linux. this is not a problem.
I hope in your help. Thanks in advance.

Re: How to use the host graphical board in guest machine
Two words: Dual Boot.
There is no way (so far) to take advantage of the actual hardware. There is an experimental PCI-passthrough mode, but no-one has reported that it is actually working. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

Basically, virtual machines don't do real hardware. For that you need dual boot as Socratis said.

Don meant that this feature is in any case available to Linux hosts only

I have gotten this to work but the limitations and work involved are way to much to be a viable solution. Better dual boot.
