Re: Fusion 11 (11.0.2) with eGPU - Slow, laggy graphics performance in VM?

$

Update on this one:

 

Fusion appears to render with whatever GPU is driving the current display the VM window is residing in.

 

Regardless of which display is set as primary in display preferences, or what is connected when Fusion is started or the VM is powered on, graphics performance within the VM is bad when on a screen driven by the eGPU, and normal when on the internal display.

 

As per RickShu, eGPUs are not supported, and looks like because they're flagged as removable devices.  Not sure if there's a workaround in the VMX for that, or if there's a way to pin to a specific GPU.

 

In the meantime, at least moving the VM windows to the internal display allows the VM to be used.
