You must perform certain preparation tasks on the Windows or Linux host system to use 3D accelerated graphics in a virtual machine.
- On a Windows host, verify that the host has a video card that supports DirectX 9, DirectX 10, DirectX 10.1, or DirectX 11 and the latest DirectX Runtime required for the DirectX version being used.
- On a Linux host, verify that the host has a video card that supports accelerated OpenGL 2.0 if you are using DirectX 9, or OpenGL 3.3 if you are using DirectX 10 or DirectX 10.1, or OpenGL 4.5 if you are using DirectX 11.
The VMware guest operating system OpenGL driver for Windows and Linux supports the OpenGL 3.3 and OpenGL 4.1 core profile only. The compatibility profile is not supported.

Vmware Graphics Adapter
- VMware provides 3D graphics with DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.3 support for Player, Workstation, Fusion and ESXi. 3D acceleration is enabled by default for the latest versions of Workstation VMs. VMware Tools are required.
- VMware has not yet updated their documentation but a VMware employee confirmed that updates in eg. The code of the VMware SVGA graphics driver resulted in this improvement. This is good for playing 720p in native video resolution but when scaling to full screen this setup does not run smoothly. Note how it says “native resolutions“, plural.
