what (graphics) hardware and OS you are running on the host machine? It's just that in my case, by enabling 3D acceleration, I'm getting Total Deceleration.Ĭan you please post your host details? i.e. If VirtualBox didn't support 3D acceleration for Linux guest, it would warn just like it does for 2D acceleration. System manager shows fairly low CPU utilization. Even clicking on links does not seem to work. I was barely able to start firefox and could only goto the home page. But even with 256MB RAM, the overall performance (for ordinary operations like browsing and moving windows) is slower than normal. VBox does not allow you to increase it beyond that, irrespective of how much graphics memory you have on the host.īTW, I'm trying to use 3D acceleration for Google Earth. Increasing video RAM to 256MB improves the performance marginally, but no cigar. Let me stress this again: Virtualization is not meant for gaming. If you decide to try this hack, make sure to do a backup of at least the configuration file, if not the whole machine! Note: The VB has to be shut down and the manager also may not run! People in the gaming forums are also complaining about this, there was this guy (), who said it could be mended with a hack of the '.vbox' configuration file, every machine has one. Anyhow, Virtualization is not intended for gaming and other heavy 3D actions, and a VM, to my knowledge, is powered with a simulated GPU, it is a "VirtualBox Graphics Adapter".
