How to force the vmware workstation 12.5.5 to use the nvidia graphics card with optirun / primusrun? No GPU passthrough involved

I am happy owner of hybrid-graphics system (sarcasm). At my disposal I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 960m graphics card with Intel integrated graphics card. The lspci names this Intel card as Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller. But I believe it would be enough to give the name of the processor ([Intel Core i7-4720HQ](https://ark.intel.com/products/78934/Intel-Core-i7-4720HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_60-GHz)) to identify the Intel graphics card. Yesterday I have installed VMware Workstation 12.5.5 in order to setup Windows 10 as a quest on my Debian 9 (RC3) host system. Unfortunately I have realized that my virtual machine is using Intel card instead of Nvidia card. Let my show output of sudo optirun nvidia-smi:

Virtual machine was started as: optirun vmware I know that some of you might say "*you can **not** use Nvidia card on your guest virtual machine*". But my question is **not** about GPU passthrough... If I had to PCI passtrough my Nvidia card to the virtual machine, I would use qemu/kvm - not VMware Workstation. All I want to do or see is the following: 1. Run optirun vmware 2. See VMware VM (or vmx) listed as a process running on the Nvidia GPU (nvidia-smi would be the indicator). (Sorry, by VMware VM or vmx I mean my guest virtual machine) How can I force this behavior? I admit that I tried only to run workstation through optirun but I don't know what else to do.
