Intel Optane 900P Speed with VMs

Hi, I have an Intel Optane 980P 480GB SSD running as a Windows 10 Pro boot drive and VM storage.   I haven't noticed any speed increase when working with VMs using either VMWare Workstation or Virtual Box during boot up or working in them for software development.  They seem to load and run about the speed as same as my 1TB PM961 NVMe SSD.  The same can be true when loading games.   I tried to install the Intel driver for it, but Windows will only allow me to use the one they created.   

 

I attached screenshots of the drive info and benchmarks.

 

If someone could tell me if I am doing something wrong or if I shouldn't expect a significant increase in speed, I will be greatly appreciated.  My computer has I7-7820X CPU and 64GB of DDR 3200Mhz RAM.    Thanks.

 

David
