Asus X99 DeLuxe/USB.3.1
Current BIOS v3505
Under: Advanced-->System Agent Configuration-->Intel VT for Directed I/O (VT-d)
Intel VT for Directed I/O (VT-d) reads Disabled.
Three questions:
1. Should I enable this and if so why?
2. Within VMware->Virtual Machine Settings->Hardware-Processors
Virtualization Engine is set to 'preferred mode: automatic (greyed out) and Disable acceleration for binary translation is UNtagged.
Should I change these settings and if so to what?
3. Does this have any effects on the graphics with VM ?

Thanks!

Intel VT for Directed I/O (VT-d) reads Disabled.
Three questions:
1. Should I enable this and if so why?
There should be no harm in enabling it although it would be of no impact, as far as I know with VMware Workstation. VT-d is only required if I/O passthrough is required and currently installing ESXi as the hypervisor on the host would be able to take advantage of it. The 2017 Tech Preview has a "virtualize IOMMU" option but that something in the future.
2. Within VMware->Virtual Machine Settings->Hardware-Processors
Virtualization Engine is set to 'preferred mode: automatic (greyed out) and Disable acceleration for binary translation is UNtagged.
Should I change these settings and if so to what?
It is best to keep it automatic. As far as I know it is only greyed out when the VM is powered on. If I am not mistaken, the binary translation is for older processors and this was the mode when VT-x was not yet a feature within the Intel processors.
3. Does this have any effects on the graphics with VM ?
Most likely it has no effects on the colour problems.

Details of what is it and when you should enable it or not Understanding VT-d: Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O | Intel® Software
Since you have have NVDIA graphics device, you should check enabling this with passthrough mode to VM.

Thanks again!
As it looks now, the matter is solved.
Am really happy with the solution. Spent quite some time on trying to figure this out myself.
I believed it was a matter of synchronizing between Windows on host and VM.
Then I thought that maybe this Intel VT for Directed I/O had something to do with this.
Hence this post.
So, as for now, I think I leave this setting as it is.
Currently no reason for a change.
Again thanks!

Hello vijayrana968
see my earlier post: matter is solved sofar.
so I think I am not going to do any changes on this setting right now.
Maybe it might be necessary one time in future. Will see.
anyway, thanks for commenting.
