Dear All/Experts,
I have a HPE Proliant ML350 gen9 server and in manufacturer's datasheet it's mentioned that FirePro W7100 is supported. So I purchased the card based on some info I found online as well.
However, -this is my mistake- I cannot find the drivers vmware ESXi 6.5 for this card. So far I have seen S7100, but not W.
My system recognizes the card, however the driver I have loaded is not for this card and Although I switch the card to passthrough mode, I cannot see the additional PCI devices after reboot.
Is there any option/way to get vmware drivers for this card?

Thanks,

Hello,
Thank you for your answer however there is no Vmware ESXi in this this.
Kind regards
Berkin
I can see the card on ESXi host and enabled passthrough rebooted the host machine, then I powered of my windows10 VM and added the card as PCI hardware to Windows VM, all fine till here.
When I try to boot the VM, I can see windows logo coming up and I never see the desktop, it simply hangs after this.
I booted windows in safe mode and saw that I have both vmware-tools SVGA virtual adapter and the AMD adapter in the display adapters.
This might be due to a conflict, however I'm not sure what's exactly wrong here.
I'd appreciate any sort of assistance, since it looks like I'm running out of ideas.
