The DxDiag tool reports detailed information about the DirectX components and drivers installed on your system and can be used. Games that use DirectX can use multimedia accelerator features built-in to your hardware more efficiently which improves your overall multimedia experience.Ĭheck which version of DirectX is installed With only one minor exception (noted below - monochrome text filtering), all methods and functionality in Direct3D 10/10.1 is available in Direct3D 11. Less What is DirectX?ĭirectX is a set of components in Windows that allows software, primarily and especially games, to work directly with your video and audio hardware. Converting programs written to use the Direct3D 10 or 10.1 API is a straight-forward process as Direct3D 11 is an extension of the existing API. Games using a version of DirectX lower or equal to version 11 will therefore work without problems.

Which is higher than what is supported by VMware Workstation.

Please checkout my package vmware-workstation-tech-preview, which has support of DirectX 11 on Windows Guest. In the virtual machine, if you run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool (dxdiag.exe) provided with all versions of Windows, you will see that Windows 10 supports DirectX 12. maybe because as soon as I start the VMware vm it says that the 3d acceletation will be disabled. Or it does not work because some other reason. Or the VMware SVGA 3d adapter does not fully support the directx 11 or it is not good enough compared to the lower graphic card requested,the Intel HD 4400 integrated display adapter. Use at home to run Windows DX11 games or for learning with a Personal License, or use Fusion Player to separate Work from Home life with a commercial license. But the tool closes it self as soon as it starts. VMware Fusion delivers a secure and powerful desktop sandbox for running Windows or other operating systems on the Mac without rebooting. I ran dxdiag inside the vm and it says that it supports the directx 11.2. So,let's talk about the VMware SVGA video adapter.


Warning : since version 16.2.0 of VMware Workstation Pro, 3D acceleration of virtual machines only works if the host supports DirectX. Enhanced 3D graphics support for DirectX 11 and up to 8GB of vGPU Memory Leverage VM Snapshots, Clones and virtual networking for maximum efficiency Move and access your virtual machines easily across VMware infrastructure Build, Push, Pull and Run OCI Container Images with the new vctl CLI Encrypt and build restricted or expiring Virtual. 3D support if you have an Intel graphics card (GPU) and a Linux host PC and support for DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3. Workstation 16 Pro improves on the industry defining technology with DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 3D Accelerated graphics support, a new dark mode user interface, support for Windows Hyper-V mode on. So,let's talk about the VMware SVGA video adapter. support for DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 for applications and games installed in virtual machines. VMware Workstation Pro is the industry standard desktop hypervisor for running virtual machines on Linux or Windows PCs. and the graphic card should have the support for the directx 11. It says that one of the minimum requirements to work are one of these cards : ATI Radeon HD 7800 (256-bit GDDR5 2GB/1000Mhz) NVidia Quadro 600. I would like to make work the brekel tool on a qemu / kvm vm.
