Windows 7 64 bit 3D accelartion support

Post by ramki »

Hi,
I had recently started using Virtual Box. Performance is very good. Biggest disappointment is , there is no DirectX/OpenGL 3D acceleration support for Windows 64 bit guest OS. I have seen some other people are asking the same question, just for my curiosity i'ma asking Can i expect 3D acceleration support in any next couple of builds. This limitation is really stopping me from experimenting 3D related software/games. It is quiet obvious that now a days most of the people are using 64 bit version of windows. I'm hoping that Oracle will add this 3D acceleration as soon as possible.

Thanks.
Ram

Better install Windows native.

Else 3D for 32 bit is experimental, cant be compared to native access. Some old games work, newer games doesn not work.
