Video Card Workthrough with VMware

Hi, I'm using VMware Workstation 12 Player and it can't seem to recognize my Video card in virtual machine. The screen goes black or just major stutters when I run PoE in VMware.
I've tried Sandboxie on Windows 10 and exilebuddy just freezes and can't seem to attach to Poe client. Sandboxie 4.08 doesn't work since I am using windows 10.

Any suggestions or ideas on how to configure or which software I should use? Thanks in advance.

7.1.2 is the best VM version for this kind of setup, ;)
 
Im using VMware 12, as long your cpu have VT-x/VT-d you wont have any graphical glitchs. VMs are all about cpus, not gpus.

and may i get an answer on a more technical level too? :p

for the D3D driver, newer versions makes the flicker happen for some reasons I don't know. Keepo The 3D Acceleration has some issues with further versions
 
hmm. well i had problems with vmware 8-11 in other games. They flickered, crashed, blue screened and what so ever
since v12 all those issues dissapeared for me.
even cpu usage with 7% and gpu load with 5% per instance seems fair.

do you run in linux, toNyx?

interesting...

never tried v12...

VMware Workstation 12 Pro |Release 24 AUG 2015 | Build 2985596

Last updated: 8 SEP 2015

you running more than 1 VM?

really no troubles?
no flickering?
 
10-11 per computer atm

no flickering. every 3rd day maybe i have a poe crash. randomly. i think that happens in those very rare situations where you get 10-11 times nashmesh making at the same time. then it seems 1 instance could crash.
but im not entirely sure since i never had the chance to observe it so far.

but besides that (which i dont consider a big deal) its pretty fine.

running on roughly 80-85% cpu / 65% gpu / 90% ram usage on 11 instances

are cpu's with vt-x support still better?
I mean - like mentioned above: it's not possible to attach the gpu to more than 1 VM anyway...

for sure great performance, but 580€ ... this would hurt...
may i ask which Board/SSD and why u choosed to use multiple SSDs? (2-3 per vm?)
i mean 500GB is overkill anyway.
