Hi Pls help as the MacBook is literally on 2 hour battery life with the VM running as the high resolution almost maxes out the weak internal graphics card with very basic tasks making the product unusable.
Running fusion 11.5.3 and a windows 10 pro VM and the VM ware tools installed (note: I've seen several discussions here on resolution issues saying you have to install and reinstall VM Ware tools on the guest and it makes no difference to below issue)
The issue is that the display resolution in both single window and fullscreen mode of the GUEST is set to HIGHER than the native resolution of the host leading to downscaling and unnecessary overhead.
Native for the MacBook is 16-inch (3072 x 1920)
In full screen resolution VMware sets the resolution of client to 3584 x 2240 which far higher than the Macbook can display.
In 'single window' mode at the maximum size of the window the resolution in the guest is set to 3448x2118 which is also higher than the Mac can display. It is just wrong!
My settings as follows which I believe to be correct:
ACCELERATE 3D graphics ON
USE FULL RESOLUTION OF Retina display ON
SCALED HIGH RESOLUTION: ALL VIEW MODES
AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST USER INTERFACE SIZE IN THE VM ON
VIRTUAL MACHINE RESOLUTION (just for reference):
SINGLE WINDOW - RESIZE THE VIRTUAL MACHINE AND THE WINDOW
FULL SCREEHN - RESIZE THE VIRTUAL MACHINE TO FIT THE SCREEN.
Thanks!
