I tryied to install NVidia driver into a VBox machine, but allways failed.

So there is no way to do this, (to do GPU computing with a VBox machine) ???

PS. I searched for a similar post, but a did'nt find any.

Moved to Using Virtualbox since this had nothing to do with the API.

Virtualbox is a hardware simulator and it hides all the hardware from the OS you install.
So no, it's not possible since the Virtual Machine doesn't see your real GPU.

The VM does not include simulated NVidia graphics, nor any kind of simulated GPU, so no - you can't do either of those things in a VirtualBox VM.

You should pause and consider the meaning of "Virtual Machine". A VM is not the same as dual boot.
