    I installed Build 6698 on DELL Optplex 755
    The graphics card doesn't appear to Preferences.
    Can GeForce 6600GT be allocated directly by using VT-d?

    hi,

    You need Two Video cards, one for the host and the other for the virtual machines.


    " If you want to use a directly connected PCIe video card in your virtual machine, you will also need:

    * Two PCIe video cards. One video card for your host computer and the other – for the virtual machine.

    Parallels Workstation Extreme officially supports the NVIDIA Quadro® FX 3800, 4800, and 5800 video cards for virtual machines. For these video cards, use the latest drivers (starting from 182.65 for Windows and 180.51 for Linux) available on the manufacturer's website.

    Direct assignment of PCIe video cards requires an NVIDIA Video BIOS version of 62.00.62.00.01 or later. If you have a supported video card which does not have this BIOS level, please contact your OEM supplier."
