I installed my windows guest thinking i could get about the same graphical power i get from my ubuntu host on my windows guest host. Apearantly thats not the case. Im assuming virtualbox designed its software in the instance that it could run its guest OS in a basic mode rather than in a more powerful mode (e.g. Gaming)
I have an Nvidia 8600 GT overclocked graphics card installed but im not getting the same graphical power on my windows guest that i do in my ubuntu host. I can play Runes of Magic on wine on my ubuntu host and everything runs fine, with a bit of lagg of course. So i installed the guest additions. I even enabled 3D acceleration in the virtualbox settings for my windows guest. Why cant virtualbox give my windows guest direct acces to my graphics card as it does with the CPU? In what order should i install these extra packages, like the guest additions, wind3d, and enabling 3d acceleration?, etc...
I just want to know if the whole system is supposed to be setup this way or maybe im doing something wrong. look here...
