Problem with Metal 3d performance

I've encountered bad metal 3d performance with both fusion 10 and 11.

Both win10 and win7 have the same problem. When using the metal render engine, 3d games can only run at a horrible frame rate. On the other hand, opengl backend doesn't have such issue with the same vm configuration.

I installed fusion on both my iMac and MBP, and the results were the same.

Any idea?

Hi JimHuyiwei,

Which games are you running with performance issue? Have you enabled any Anti-Aliasing settings?

Hi Rickshu

Every game is running at slow frame rate. Besides, I find the loading speed is pretty slow too.

Changing the render engine to OpenGL will solve the problem.

This happened both on my iMac 2019 and MBP 2017.

Hi JimHuyiwei,

If every game is running at slow frame rate with metal renderer, there must be something wrong, would you please attach the vmware.log to this thread with metal renderer enabled?
