Well this is not a supported feature even on Windows (AFAIK), so I'm not sure why this is an issue for you? See here for a list of supported graphics cards https://docs.nvidia.com/grid/latest/grid-vgpu-user-guide/ind.... Notice how there is no distinction between Windows and Linux. The 1080 is supported perfectly by nvidia-docker though.

There's no reason the hardware can't do it, the driver actively attempts to see if you're on a VM and refuses to talk to the hardware if so. Google "Nvidia error code 43" if you're curious, and some people like to virtualize a video game on their Linux dev PC.
