When you enable 3D graphics, you can select a hardware or software graphics renderer and optimize the graphics memory allocated to the virtual machine. You can increase the number of displays in multi-monitor configurations and change the video card settings to meet your graphics requirements.
The default setting for total video RAM is adequate for minimal desktop resolution. For more complex situations, you can change the default memory. Typically, 3D applications require a video memory of 64–512 MB.
Fault Tolerance is not supported for virtual machines that have 3D graphics enabled.
- VMware Fusion gives Mac users the power to run Windows on Mac along with hundreds of other operating systems side by side with Mac applications, without rebooting. Fusion is simple enough for home users and powerful enough for IT professionals, developers and businesses.
- Mar 21, 2018 I set up VMWare Workstation (free) at home this weekend, and have a Windows 7 Pro VM installed. That's all running quite well. The one limitation that I've run into is that I can't pass my GPU on my host through to the guest VM, so any graphical stuff on the VM is handled by my CPU.
- It is very important that you install VMware Tools in the guest operating system. With the VMware Tools SVGA driver installed, Workstation supports significantly faster graphics performance. The VMware Tools package provides support required for shared folders and for drag and drop operations.
- Oct 31, 2019 Running macOS Catalina in Windows10 with VMware 15.5 The system runs perfectly with only one very important problem: the display type. In my PC is installed an Asus RX580 4GB but the virtual machine runs with a graphic card of 128MB of GPU ram. The resolution is OK, but graphic tasks are very slow. VMware Tools are installed.

How to Fixed Slow Display VMware OS X? The main purpose of this post is to show that the latest version of Mac OS X 10.11 is working superb after upgraded from earlier Mac 10.10.3 in VMware with Windows 10, 8.1 and 7 Computers. As similar to earlier version of Mac OS X 10.10.3 new version Mac 10.11 don’t need any kernel to install and run. The new release of VirtualBox 6.0 which supports a Guest Tool comes with a new VMSVGA feature that automatically emulates a VMSVGA graphics card. With it, you can improve the performance of your macOS and enjoy more processing power.
- Verify that the virtual machine is powered off.
- Verify that the virtual machine compatibility is ESXi 5.0 and later.
- To enable 3D graphics in virtual machines with Windows 8 guest operating systems, the virtual machine compatibility must be ESXi 5.1 or later.
- To use a Hardware 3D renderer, ensure that graphics hardware is available. See Configuring 3D Graphics.
- If you update the virtual machine compatibility from ESXi 5.1 and later to ESXi 5.5 and later, reinstall VMware Tools to get the latest SVGA virtual graphics driver and Windows Display Driver Model driver.
- Verify that you have the Virtual machine.Configuration.Modify device settings privilege on the virtual machine.
Procedure
Mac Os Vmware
- Right-click a virtual machine in the inventory and select Edit Settings.
- On the Virtual Hardware tab, expand Video Card.
- Select custom or automatic settings for your displays from the drop-down menu.
Option
Description Auto-detect settings Applies common video settings to the guest operating system.
Specify custom settings Lets you select the number of displays and the total video memory.
- Select the number of displays from the drop-down menu. You can set the number of displays and extend the screen across them.
- Enter the required video memory.
- (Optional) Select Enable 3D support. This check box is active only for guest operating systems on which VMware supports 3D.
- (Optional) Select a 3D Renderer.
Option
Description Automatic Selects the appropriate option (software or hardware) for this virtual machine. Software Uses normal CPU processing for 3D calculations. Hardware Requires graphics hardware (GPU) for faster 3D calculations.
Note: The virtual machine will not power on if graphics hardware is not available. - Click OK.
