Note that this is a guest system level setting. On the same place adjust the allocated Graphics memory: recommended value is 1GB if you intend to run an application demanding more graphics RAM, increase this value.Ĭlose the settings window, your virtual machine is now ready to be launched with hardware acceleration.

Go to 'Display', and select on the right 'Accelerate 3D graphics'. On the right, click on 'Edit virtual machine settings'. Select an installed virtual guest, don't run it. Launch VMware Workstation Player from your menu. If you see geared wheels running in a small window, all is OK! With your system report, check the availability of OpenGL and Nvidia GPU with its proprietary drivers: The host has a video card that supports accelerated OpenGL 2.0 if you want to use DirectX 9, or OpenGL 3.3 if you want to use DirectX 10 or DirectX 10.1, OpenGL 4.5 if you want to use DirectX 11 or DirectX 12. For Linux hosts, AMD devices are not supported

Linux host prerequisite: The latest NVIDIA proprietary drivers are required to have 3D graphics acceleration in the guest. NB: this setting has disappeared and is no longer necessary on the latest versions of Windows 10 (tested on 21H2).

Under 'Display', check that acceleration is activated for Direct3D, DirectDraw and AGP.įor Windows 7, 8, and old versions of Windows 10, enable permanent hardware acceleration: Right-click the desktop and select Personalize > Screen resolution > Advanced Settings > Troubleshoot > Change settings and move the Hardware Acceleration slider to the Full position.
