Question
I am running Windows 7 under VMware Fusion on my Macintosh. What can I be doing to optimize the performance of the games I run under such an environment?
Answer
Suggested Settings
- Processors & Ram
- Processors
- Usually just 1
- If you have a quad core, then you can try setting this to 2 to see if a particular game benefits
- Always less than the number of physical cores on your Mac
- RAM
- At least 2048 MB
- Upto the recommended maximum (e.g. 3684 MB for a 4GB Macbook Pro)
- Processors
- Display
- Accelerate 3D Graphics - checked
- AutoProtect - disabled
The remaining VM settings offer no significant performance improvements.
You will want to close as many applications as possible that are running in OS X. This includes all dock applications, and ones in the tray. This is particularly important when you are using the maximum recommended RAM sizes for your virtual machine.
