VirtualBox is still limited to 256MB VRAM in 2022

why not use qemu instead?
Thomas Roberts
But it isn't?
Mason James
Why are wintoddlers illiterate?
Brody Rodriguez
Use QEMU retard
Joshua Robinson
Oh VRAM - sorry I'm drunk.
Why would you need more, anyway?
Ian Mitchell
Buy a second GPU and pass it through KVM.
Jaxon Roberts
I guess OP wants to play video games in a VM or something.
Sebastian Murphy
VMWare Workstation allows a lot more than that. I currently have 4GB VRAM allocated to my Windows VM.
Jaxon Stewart
Because SVGA doesn't need more then 256MB of vram.
Aiden Watson
Why do people use that instead of WMWare? Is it better, easier more secure?
Justin Peterson
Adobe CC apps drop the pasta all over the floor if you don't have enough VRAM.
Christopher Lee
I don't think VRAM is used for anything but the framebuffer on VBox, even if you enable the (limited) 3D accel.
It doesn't require phonehomeware to run and it's FOSS, but otherwise it' s slightly to a lot worse than VMware in all respects.
Set some fake VRAM number in registry or increase VRAM by editing the config directly.
Or just don't be a retard and use qemu.
Levi Peterson
More accurate, at the cost of performance.
Daniel Turner
It's slower because it's shit, not because it's more accurate. Most notably, all IO is fucking crippled, you can't push more than 30MB/s through the virutal NIC, which is pathetic. qemu and VMware can do multiple times that without even getting into virtio devices. And disk IO isn't much better.
Dominic Hill
"Muh freedumbs", the same reason that freetards make excuses for all sorts of terrible software that's far worse than proprietary alternatives.

>qemu and VMware can do multiple times that without even getting into virtio devices
That's because they trade accuracy for performance, user. I don't even know why you're trying to compare the three anyway when they all serve different groups of people. Some people need accuracy when running ancient shit that makes assumptions about hardware, and some people need performance when running not-ancient shit that isn't low-level.
William Price
Affinity Suite craws awfully on VirtualBox for me, it feels really unusable, while the performance with VMWare feels close to native.
Anthony Robinson
If you want to do heavy workloads in a VM, you need a type I hypervisor, which VirtualBox isn't
So your choices are either something like Qemu+KVM, Proxmox or VMWare ESX
Levi Campbell
Why the fuck would you ever run adobe CC apps in a VM? they barely run on a real machine.
