Integrating your own graphics card into VirtualBox 7.0
blux Posted messages 5004 Registration date Status Modérateur Last intervention -
Hello
I currently have Windows 10 22H2 on my main machine with an "AMD Radeon (TM) RX Vega 10 Graphics" graphics card, featuring 2048 MB of video memory out of 13269 MB of total graphic memory available.
On my virtual machine (with VirtualBox 7.0), I also installed Windows 10 22H2 with a virtual graphics card "VirtualBox Graphics Adapter (WDDM)" set by default with the "VBoxSVGA" option.
I would like to integrate (or have the option to swap) my graphics card from my main computer "AMD Radeon (TM) RX Vega 10 Graphics" into my virtual machine instead of the default "VirtualBox Graphics Adapter (WDDM)".
Would this be possible?
Also, when I enable the "3D Acceleration" option in the settings of the virtual machine, I get a black window when I start certain applications.
How is this possible? A solution for this?
Thank you for your understanding.

And how do we stop hypervisor 2?
I don't understand the question...
And also, what type of hypervisor should I use to play it, or which VM can I go through?
For the general public, you will mostly have type 2 hypervisors, so it's never going to go far in terms of graphical capabilities...
Otherwise, you can start with Proxmox (type 1 hypervisor), but it will be a bit more complicated if you're not familiar with the ins and outs of machine virtualization (P2V, among other things...).

Hello,
VirtualBox is a type 2 hypervisor, it uses the resources of the host OS, so you'll never have direct access to the GPU but through the VirtualBox driver that sends its commands to the Windows driver.

Hello Blux,
Yes, I am currently playing The Sims 4 on my virtual machine; it doesn’t require a lot of resources in terms of graphic memory (4GB of RAM for 128GB of storage with all the mods, CC, and also the save files).
Despite having tried to clear the Windows cache as much as possible, and increasing the RAM (14,607 and video memory 256 MB) (on VirtualBox), and also deleting the cache in the Sims 4 folders, nothing works; the graphics are slow (it lags) in the game.
(I also set all the video settings in the game to the lowest) but still nothing works.
What should I do to reduce the lag?
Best regards.
