There are some huge performance issues in VBO management and currently a better way to render meshes is to use OpenGL display lists (thanks to Leonid).

Seems as if the virtual graphics card performs some 3D rendering in software modeвЂ¦ But RivaTuner monitoring (launched in the host) showed me that OpenGL acceleration was enabled. The same demo running directly on the host gives about 2200 FPS: I wasnвЂ™t able to see if VBO worked correctly (there wasnвЂ™t speed improvement between non-VBO and VBO versions) but I can tell you that GLSL shaders are ok (look at the specular highlights)! The following screenshots show the VBO + GLSL shader version of the demo: вЂ“ no VBO + fixed pipeline for texturing/lighting (OpenGL 1.2)Д«oth versions worked fine in VirtualBox 3.0. This demo displays a simple textured mesh torus. So I coded a small OpenGL demo with the same 3D engine than GPU Caps Viewer demos.

I tried to launch GPU Caps Viewer demos but without success. Okay, all theses tests are cool, but how an OpenGL application works in VirtualBox 3.0? How an OpenGL 2.0 (with some GLSL shaders) demo runs?

HummвЂ¦ GPU-Z does not like virtual graphics cards! Just for the fun, letвЂ™s look at what GPU-Z displays: This time, GPU Caps Viewer has detected an OpenGL 2.0 graphics card with 66 extensions.

Once installed, VirtualBox 3.0 found the virtual hard disk created by VirtualBox 2.2.4:Д«efore starting GPU Caps Viewer, one has to install also the Guest Additions that come with VirtualBox 3.0. The cool thing with VirtualBox is that it installs a fully working virtual network adapter so you can directly surf the web at the first start of the guest.

Okay now I can download the beta of VirtualBox 3.0. But in the same time, this is the limitation of VirtualBox 2.x.x: OpenGL 1.5.Дid you notice the renderer name Chromium? Chromium is the virtual OpenGL renderer of VirtualBox. Wooo3D acceleration support can be enabled in VirtualBox settings:ДЄhвЂ¦ itвЂ™s better.

So the first things I did were: 1/ install VirtualBox 2.2.4 on my host (Windows XP SP2 32-bit) 2/ create a virtual hard disk (20Gb вЂ“ itвЂ™s an image file on hostвЂ™s hard disk) and install on this disk Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit 3/ install the Guest Additions (guest additions provide closer integration between host and guest and improve the interactive performance of guest systems вЂ“ better mouse integration and above all better graphics card support) and 4/ fire up GPU Caps Viewer: Even if you have the latest Radeon or GeForce monster in the host, a 3D application running in the guest wonвЂ™t see it. Because in a virtual machine, there is no real hardware and the graphics card is virtualized. What I wanted to see is how GPU Caps Viewer works in the virtual machine. My host machine is an AMD X2 3800+ / 2Gb RAM / GeForce GTX 280 + ForceWare 190.15 / Windows XP SP2 32-bit. To understand what VirtualBox 3.0 brings in OpenGL, I started my experimentations with the previous stable release: VirtualBox 2.2.4. вЂ“ Support for OpenGL 2.0 for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests вЂ“ Windows guests: ability to use Direct3D 8/9 applications / games (experimental) вЂ“ Guest SMP with up to 32 virtual CPUs (VT-x and AMD-V only) Here are the main features of VirtualBox 3.0: More exactly, VirtualBox 3.0 supports OpenGL 2.0 and Direct3D 8. Wait a minuteвЂ¦ why did I decide to test VirtualBox? Because all news claimed VirtualBox 3.0 BETA has now an improvedвЂ¦ OpenGL support. Your physical computer is called the host, while the virtual machine is called the guest. What does it mean? With VirtualBox, you can run unmodified operating systems (including all softwares installed on these operating systems) directly on top of your existing operating system, in a special environment called a virtual machine. VirtualBox is a virtualization technology for x86 hardware. VirtualBox is a virtual machine like the famous VMware or VirtualPC (although VirtualPC seems to be limited to run different Windows versions in Windows). And until yesterday I didnвЂ™t know this software. VirtualBoxвЂ¦ Since somes days, the web is flooded with news about the new major version of VirtualBox (3.0 beta).
