virtual graphics RAM; VT

How do you define the amount of RAM, VMWare virtual graphics card has?  IIRC, the default value is 256 MB, is it possible to lower or more top?  There is an option to do that for regular RAM but I don't see one for graphics RAM.  Other options can I play with to improve graphics performance?  Also, as a note, I noticed that 64-bit clients require VT (virtualization technology) to be activated for example on Intel adapters.  I was wondering, is there any performace gain for 32-bit clients?  What exactly is the VT and I should allow it if I often use VMWare workstation?  Thanks in advance.

Increase graphic ram will not really do what you think it will be.  We don't use of video ram in the same way that a real video card, we use it essentially as a temporary place to store the data until the host can pick it up, kind of data didn't need to stay in the vram so that it can be used by the graphics card the host.  The only case where you actually want to increase the video ram is if you have an application that won't work unless you have 'enough' of video ram.  In this case, you want to add or change the following items in your vmx file:

SVGA.vramsize =

Note that Vram comes out of system memory real, thus affecting it too high will make probably hurt performance rather than help.  I don't know the hand if we this cap to a certain amount.  I guess that 256 MB is going to be the absolute upper limit, however.  I do not recommend actually change this value unless you are having problems with a specific application.

  • HP Pavilion a6000n desktop: adding false graphic RAM and freezes start.

    Well, I'm back with the same machine as the previous assignments.  I ordered the recovery of Surgeons of the computer disks and that they were unnecessary because the computer does not see any cd/dvd I have to install.  Finally gave up and ordered a Windows Vista recovery usb flash drive and installed the operating system.  I used it very well with the RAM minimum (1 GB).  I decided to upgrade the memory to use all 4 GB.  All four are recognized in the BIOS/Setup with the full 4 GB dispalyed.  The new brand of memory is Samsung.  Everything seems to be as it should.

    Here's the problem: the Windows splash screen appears with the scan progress bar and when it gets to the sixth pass it freezes as black and alternating vertical lines distorted graph color vertical lines appear.  It will remain so until I have shut down, because he has not answered all the keyboard commands.

    I removed two 1 GB modules and restarted without problem.  I've tried three, and he did nothing.  Swapped the output for the two 1gbs modules, I removed and they worked perfectly.  With four on board is the problem presented and only when windows is loading.

    I also tried safe mode.  All four ram modules work with the VGA drivers in safe mode without graphical distortions or freezes.

    I tried to restore the computer to an earlier time with the console of Windows Vista repair because he found from the problems and suggested this course of action.  When I did, he removed my Firefox browser.

    HP Pavilion a6000n specifications

    Before that I inform you of why 4 GB will not work, I will inform you of the steps, I took in coming to my conclusion.

    First of all, I found an old PCI VGA card and installed.  Then I started the installer and changed to display pci dashboard.  F10 save and exit.  I left Vista find the new hardware and drivers.  Power off and swapped the cable from the monitor with pci card.  Restarted.  Last good known Configuration.  Made to the desktop with large icons, display etc.  Power off.  Installed all four modules of memory of 1 GB.  The installer confirms the mms of 1 GB in all four banks.  Save and exit.  A frozen fourth passage on the starting Windows progress bar screen.  Display is now less than a hundred multicolored pixels (it looks like stars in the night sky) scattered across the screen with barely perceptible ms inside progress bar.  Killed power as no response to input devices.  Modules removed from DIMM0 DIMM2 (banks 1 and 3) and installed two 512 MB mms instead.  Power, entered installation.  Confirmed 1 GB, 512MB, 1 GB, 512MB in DIMM0-4 (banks 1-4).  Save and exit.

    Eureka!  Starts directly on the desktop with no complications.  Vista even automatically the Resolution 1600 x 900 display value.

    Power off.  Remove the PCI card.  Has changed from the monitor to the integrated connector cable.  Powered on the Setup where I changed the display on board.  Saved and get out.  Straight to the desktop.  All right.  Vista indicates on the installed 3,072 GB 3.0 GB.

    I had read a useless article on the HP Forum that said that HP had made disappear the memory alternative banks.  Thank you for that.  Thanks kaoutar to straighten me out on this.

    After studying the limits of memory on Windows os systems, I made a discovery.  Due to the limitations of physical or software address, Vista cannot use 4 GB RAM in the 32-bit operating system.  You must install os 64 bit where it can use 8 GB to 16 GB.

    Here are a few discussions of support, I found to cooberate my conclusion that 4 GB will not work on this computer, as this is with Vista 32 bit installed.

    Thanks for the reply and assistance EricoInstallation of Bank alternation of RAM modules corresponding coupled to the reduction of two of these 512 MB back is the solution.  It was an error of installation of equipment so many restrictions imposed by hardware and software manufacturers.  If I or anyone else, wants more RAM under Vista or 7, will need the 64-bit versions.

  • VM, GPU graphics RAM or mobo based?

    I have 2 very powerful GPU.

    Are they used by my vm?

    Win10

    Workstation 11.

    11 workstation allows up to 2GB to allocate to the virtual machine.

    Is this coming from my Radeon GB 4 directly - or is the host system ram available assignment of work center to be used for graphs of the virtual machine?

    Specifically I lose my powerful graphics in this pc card potential?  If W11 uses system ram - who I have a lot and by allocating for the virtual machine - a cheap graphics card run as well and I could use these Radeons in another system instead?  What if I'm under VMs 2 or 3 at a time?  Where the graphics performance of the virtual machine are actually coming from?  There seems to be no precise answer on the web, just a reference to the "2 GB" available in W11-never to where it's getting only 2 GB...

    not clear.

    Please help, experts-

    Hello

    The guest OS see only a virtualized, GPU, GPU not true.

    The RAM that you assign to the maps - AFAIK - just your host RAM GPU.

    At least that was how it was in previous versions before 11 workstation and I would be very surprised if this has changed.

    You lose expensive GPU on your host? This one is almost impossible to answer for us, because we know no details.

    While you have decent graphics cards need, they certainly do not be very expensive.

  • How to increase graphic RAM on Tecra A2?

    Hello!

    I want to run Aero, but I need graphics 128 MB of Ram, so I want to increase the RAM graph.

    In addition, he has only a processor clocked at 1.8 GHz, while I was looking for the upgrade of the ot in a faster processor speed.

    If I can't get a faster processor, y at - it a motherboard that fits into the shell of the laptop, without having to change the screen.

    Thanks in advance.

    ANSWER PLEASE! =] =]

    Use the design of Aero Vista it is a function of the video RAM * and * the graphics card. System requirements of Aero, you can see here:
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Aero

    I tried a bit with Google and saw that the Tecra A2 is equipped with a graphic card Intel 855GME and AFAIK this doesn't support graphics card DirectX 9. Aero is therefore not possible on your laptop.

    Upgrade the CPU I can prefer this Toshiba document:

  • Request for use of the virtual computer RAM

    Hi all

    I have 3 x VM running to work in a box, each machine was given to 16 GB RAM allocated.
    My confusion is when a virtual machine starts and become inactive, the memory usage levels out and remains the same (as you know).  However when an application is launched, and the memory usage is used, it is never 'product' when the application closes.  So finally, during the day the memory used displays 99% and will never fall.  There are never problems with caution and no request may not work, but I found this strange behavior...
    Is this a normal behavior?  Can someone explain the logic behind this?
    Thanks :)

    Given that most of the individuals are not running Virtual Machines, I would say that your question belongs better in the IT Pro community:

    Embedded is essentially an intigraded gfx card. Same rules apply.

    Your card seems to be dedicated 256 with 600 + shared with the system. The 600 will be divied on the scenes without any input on your part (it adjusts automatic)

    If you are looking for better performance on the games (which I think is the point here) you will need a new card.

    Unfortunately, it can be done.

    The amount of available memory is the memory of your system (other than the 64 MB dedicated memory).

    What happens is that if the video needs more 64 MB of RAM at the time, it can use up to 1632 MB memory your system to help the video memory.

  • Need help for upgrade R2 of Alienware x 51: card graphics, RAM, power supply

    Hi, about a year ago, I purchased the Alienware R2 x 51, and I want to improve.

    Im a bit new to this so I need help, so I came on the forums.

    Current form (these are the parts I want to improve):

    GeForce® GTX 745 with 4 GB of DDR3 memory

    3.4 GHz Intel Core i7-4770 processor

    8 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

    You want to upgrade to these parts:

    GTX 960

    16 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

    I'm not sure things:

    -I don't know if I currently have a 330w power, I heard say that because I have the R2 version of the x 51 Alienware, I 330w power (but I'm not sure so if someone can help with this, or tell me how do I know if I have a 330w PSU)

    -Ive seen someone use this card with his alienware x 51 and it worked perfectly and I was wondering if it would work with my alienware too

    www.Amazon.com/.../Ref=sr_1_5, qid = 1437994445 & sr = 8-5 & keywords = gtx + 960 + msi

    • This card will fit in my alienware x 51?
    • It will run smoothly?

    -Last thing is I need help with the ram, I want to buy two 8 GB sticks and replace them with two 4 GB ones I currently have. I'm not sure which RAM should I get (if someone can help with this and leave a link) which is compatible with my x 51 alienware.

    If you had something but the 645 GTX, GTX 745 or GTX 750 ti, you 330w POWER supply. The PSU is determined by what GPU, you, you no what revision. If you want to upgrade to the GTX 960 (the one you accessed is good), you must supply 330w (what I describe as a big black brick with an oval green LED). You probably have the 240w.

    Most desktop DDR3 RAM should work with the X 51. Some will not be because they do not match (heat sink (?) too thick and rounded).

  • Virtual graphic for donations

    I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place or even able to describe clearly what I am trying to accomplish.

    I want to create a chart (for example, say a Christmas tree) where the stars can be purchased as a gift via PayPal to give light to the top of the tree.  Once the donation is made, PayPal should return to the Flash chart with the new star and a message attached to it.  I would do this for various holidays (Valentine's day, Easter, etc.).

    Can I use Flex, Flash, or a simple animated graphics or other?

    I searched and searched on it, nothing happens.  Any ideas?

    You could do this with Flash, although you should probably support a database as well as script on the side of the process between Flash and the DB server.  Each light on the tree must have a unique identity that store you in the comic book once a donation has been treated.  If the file on startup, it retrieves the lighting of the DB info to turn on the lights that have need of lighting (and disable them as selectable).  After that a donation is processed, the file would need update the info from the Db so that the newly added light.

  • Upgrade of RAM and Intel graphics

    Hello
    I recently discovered that I could improve my graphics ram and intel. So I went to the performance and tools tgen relize my rankings are not the base score is 4.6 and gamming is 5.2 so you have any recommendations on new graphics for 32-bit operating system and then I put my ram from 4 GB to more than that.

    Hello

    First, your machine is running 32-bit, the RAM upgrade anything more than 4 GB is wasting money because the 32 bit OS can not access to more than 4 Gb. Second, you cannot upgrade the Intel video chip, it is soldered to the motherboard.

    Kind regards.

  • How can I get a virtual machine to see the graphic material?

    Environment:

    1. I use a computer HP Pavilion dv8327us laptop is equipped with a nVidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card.

    2. I am running VMWare Workstation 7.x

    3. I'm under Ubuntu 10.04 as a virtual machine.

    4. I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 as the host machine.

    Location:

    1. the virtual machine seems not to be able to use advanced graphics card features.

    2. the VM sees the card as a SVGA II adapter.

    3. the virtual machine can't determine the system LCD screen refresh rate.

    4. the virtual machine can't do use an external display.

    Workarounds failed:

    1. an attempt to solve this problem by installing the latest nvidia 260.19.44 graphics driver failed. The installation of this driver has resulted in an error message indicating that no supported hardware can be detected. The conclusion I draw from this is that either or however the machine emule virtual graphic adapter in the system is not quite the same as what is emulated.

    Question:

    1 is wrong to think that we could install drivers of graphics cards in a virtual machine and wait to turn the virtual machine to see the graphics card in the same way as the host machine? If Yes, then how can we do?

    2. is it possible for a virtual machine to use an external monitor?

    Adding a virtual disk on a virtual SCSI controller auxiliary to a VM moves other devices to the new PCI ports

    Tal como dice el article you respond sell the siguiente forma:

    Virtual PCI peripheral are filled in the PCI slots on a virtual machine using a predefined scanning order:

    1. PCI 0 x 00: x 00 0x0f.0 (bus 15 slot, PCI zero, zero function) contains the VMware SVGA II video adapter. It corresponds to the slot 1 on virtual hardware. It is not possible to disable the device from the virtual graphics card.       According to availability, remaining five virtual PCI slots are filled.
    2. All virtual SCSI controllers are added in the digit key-based (scsi #), beginning to PCI 0 x 00:0 x 10.0 x 00 (zero PCI bus, slot, sixteen, zero function) with the lowest numbered virtual SCSI controller.
    3. After all virtual SCSI controllers are populated, are added the virtual Ethernet controllers.
    4. Finally, the virtual soundcard (if available and configured) is filled with.

    Adding or removing a virtual SCSI controller, for example, causes devices more down in the order of scanning (virtual Ethernet controllers and its virtual card) to move to the new virtual PCI slot locations.

    Implementation of PCI virtual devices in this order preserves the virtual PCI slot mapping for the first virtual SCSI controller at all times. The first virtual SCSI controller is generally used as the boot SCSI controller, and count of many operating systems on this SCSI controller in a fixed location on the PCI bus.
