My question may be weird. I want to know if there is some virtual machine that lets me install Windows 7 under Linux and lets Windows use, as a virtual device, the same device that is really installed in my physical PC.
I need to do that, because of a lot of Adobe software that I need for work and I can't switch to other software (even if I'd like to).
Maybe what I need could be something even simpler, like letting the virtual machine see the graphics card I have to get the full compatibility with the Adobe software and the OpenGL and DirectX drivers.
Actually I use VirtualBox to run Windows, and Fedora is my main OS.
The hardware that I need to share is as follows:
⠀CPU - Intel Core i7 990x (even only a subset of all the cores)
⠀GPU - Nvidia Quadro 2000
