is vGPU necessary for hardware 3D acceleration in VirtualBox #93
Comments
Hello, yes you need it. Please switch guest type to Windows 10 (to use VBoxSVGA) or Linux (to use VMSVGA) - there isn't real difference, but VirtualBox switching automaticaly GPU type base on guest type regardless of the user's opinion. |
Thanks. No where did i find instructions telling me i need vGPU, or set the vm guest type to Windows 10 to use VBoxSVGA. Either im blind or naive, or adding those instructions somewhere would be nice. |
I don't think you can brick something (hardware wise) on the host by doing anything in the Virtual machine. Also, you don't need to know the exact type of host GPU - see the installation instructions. |
My gpu doesnt have vGPU enabled by default. As far as i can figure out by researching online, to enable it, you need to patch the GPUs firmware, which i imagine can brick the GPU. The install instructions you link dont explain how to enable vGPU on a GPU. |
I don't think SoftGPU uses "vGPU" (paravirtualization). Just follow the instructions and report back when/if there is a problem. |
The project maintainer told me in the reply that it does need vGPU. #93 (comment) |
He meant that you need to enable "Enable 3D Acceleration" checkbox.

Also, do i need to check 'Enable 3D acceleration' for it to work? Because when i check it, it always reverts back to VBoxVGA.
I'm just trying to play some Win98 games with 3D acceleration with a RTX 3080.
