You can't share a graphics card for multiple VMs. 

Buy multiple and share them with VMs

Hi,

 

I found that the sharing feature is available with nvidia grid k1 and k2 cards , just wanted to check if that can be mimicked with standard pc cards .

I know about the Grid cards. They actually have 4 separate GPUs on one chip, each with 700-1000 CUDA cores. This cannot be mimicked by standard PC graphics cards.
