VMware workstation 9

[Wintermute]

Anyone using the new vmware workstation 9 yet? I'm going to give it a go since it has improved graphics support. Was curious if anyone has found if it is stable enough yet.

Using workstation 9. Working fine for me, but if there's any improvement in performance, there's none I can tell.

yep
gpu is utilized better, not superb but still decent
and cpu load dropped really, 10-15% drop
with 9 bots i had about 80% load

Shaliuno what is your host CPU? i7-3820? 11 bots! nice!

Shal I got another question what type settings are you using when you setup a new station on the vmware. ATM im having troubles with mine, I get minor jumps while in game.

I am using windows 7 with 2gig 1cpu for my station,

I got 16gig n i7 at 4.0ghz, 2 580's and 240 SSD for main OS

Could it be my hard drive im using a WD Green and hear it load a few times. could you show us how you setup your stations?

You must have a SSD.

How well does vmware handle 2 video cards?

 

[bl4ck]

memory 1,5Gb
800x600
1 cpu 1 core

and probably will got for inter-v virtualization
need to check it on separate stuff

getting 70k less gph from each bot with new patch
but still acceptable
new bots will go different way

Hi, why do you use only 1 cpu 1 core?

Have you guys experienced any "video drivers crash" aka "black screens" when running 2-3+ virtual machines.
With vmware 8 i am getting black screens on all virtual machines every 2-3 hours, wondering if something will change if I migrate to version9
