      Video Card Workthrough with VMware

      Hi, I'm using VMware Workstation 12 Player and it can't seem to recognize my Video card in virtual machine. The screen goes black or just major stutters when I run PoE in VMware.
      I've tried Sandboxie on Windows 10 and exilebuddy just freezes and can't seem to attach to Poe client. Sandboxie 4.08 doesn't work since I am using windows 10.

      Any suggestions or ideas on how to configure or which software I should use? Thanks in advance.

      7.1.2 is the best VM version for this kind of setup, ;)

      Im using VMware 12, as long your cpu have VT-x/VT-d you wont have any graphical glitchs. VMs are all about cpus, not gpus.

      for the D3D driver, newer versions makes the flicker happen for some reasons I don't know. Keepo The 3D Acceleration has some issues with further versions

      hmm. well i had problems with vmware 8-11 in other games. They flickered, crashed, blue screened and what so ever
      since v12 all those issues dissapeared for me.
      even cpu usage with 7% and gpu load with 5% per instance seems fair.

      do you run in linux, toNyx?

      10-11 per computer atm

      no flickering. every 3rd day maybe i have a poe crash. randomly. i think that happens in those very rare situations where you get 10-11 times nashmesh making at the same time. then it seems 1 instance could crash.
      but im not entirely sure since i never had the chance to observe it so far.

      but besides that (which i dont consider a big deal) its pretty fine.

      are cpu's with vt-x support still better?
      I mean - like mentioned above: it's not possible to attach the gpu to more than 1 VM anyway...


      for sure great performance, but 580€ ... this would hurt...
      may i ask which Board/SSD and why u choosed to use multiple SSDs? (2-3 per vm?)
      i mean 500GB is overkill anyway.
