Windows Graphics *incredibly* slow

Post by lib_andrewzoglman »

Specs
Mac Pro (Early 2008)
2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
32 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
OS X 10.11.6

When running windows under all graphics modes I get very slow graphics speeds. When trying to virtualize Windows Vista, I can watch the loading bar render as it moves. Any help will be appreciated, I can add files if required. Might just be that I have to upgrade my graphics, and if so, oh well.

TIA

Please pick one VM that runs slowly. Start the VM from full power off, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Please right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip the log file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
