Possible in the future for hardware access?

Post by aroach31291 »

Would it be possible for the guest and host to share the same video card? I know it's currently not implemented, but even if it couldn't share the same video card, could it use another video card not being used by the host?

Only the future will tell. It is technology we're talking about, anything is possible. It's just not know if it will be possible next year, next decade or even next century.
