My MSI mainboard offers to disable specific cores so I simply disabled the E cores but it didn't seem to have any meaningful effect for my performance problems. VMware Workstation Pro still runs better on a 2+ years old notebook than it does on my cutting edge gaming computer which just isn't right.

I have a feeling it isn't but I don't know. My host is a 12700k, 6900 XT, 32 GB RAM and performance is atrocious in Workstation Pro 16.2.4, it's literally unusable, I have 2-3s lag when moving the mouse and what feels like 5fps in a Win 10 guest. When I disable 3D acceleration it is just terrible instead of unsable but I have spend days to get an acceptable virtualization experience without any success. I'm on a Linux host, graphics work fine so its should not be a graphics card driver issue. In any case, this is unacceptable performance for such a beefy system so I assume something is broken, I have no idea how to figure out what though. I also have a work laptop that runs a Win 10 guest almost flawlessly so I have a pretty good idea how good it can be.
