We have to consider this is a new implementation for Virtualbox. I even get 3000 under VMware and it is definitely a lot more stable. Then I do agree with you: the same driver perform better in VMware environment. It could be related with the lack of some feture in the way you/or your distro maintainer had build the vmgfx driver. Glxinfo command should give you a lot of information to debug the problem. I get between 3, it depends from which Linux Guest I do run. My host is windows 10 with Intel and NVidia Quadro GPUs, guest Ubuntu 18.04 with proper guest additions installed.

So I guess my question is, is anyone aware of a fact that VMSVGA in VirtualBox IS in fact slower then the (same?) driver in vmware? Or does the lower usage of the NVidia GPU and CPU by VirtualBox indicate some kind of bug in VirtualBox? In vmware I can assign up to 3GB of RAM to the GPU, but that should not matter in case 3d acceleration is enabled, right? In both cases I started the VM and ran glxgears in fullscreen (basically causing the load with glxgears).Īlso, and I know this is not a tool for benchmarking, running glxgears gives 150-200 FPS in VirtualBox, 1700-2000 in vmware VirtualBox never uses more then 70% of the NVidia GPU and around 12% of CPU as sown in task manager. vmware is using around 90-100% of NVidia GPU and around 30-40% of CPU as shown in task manager. both vmware and VirtualBox use the NVidia GPU. So I made sure that VirtualBox is using the dedicated NVidia GPU in my laptop, which I verified by using the task manager and looking at which processes are using GPU-1 (which is NVidia in my case). Recently I was running some tests just to make sure that the issue is not on my end. I use the VM for development the whole day and thus notice that switching between windows, tabs, workspaces is not as smooth as in vmware. Sadly the GPU performance in VirtualBox is not comparable with vmware. After installing VirtualBo圆 with the new VMSVGA driver I was expecting the get the same or similar GPU performance as in vmware workstation player, because (at least I though so) both are using the same driver.
