3DMark Benchmark

[TECH198]

Does 3DMark benchmark software run in VMWare Fusion 11.1.x? I've disabled all services using MSconfig, but 3DMark freezes on splash screen. I'm wondering it its due emulated hardware

Hi TECH198,

Which version of 3D Mark are you running in the VM? Can you also provide the host and VM configuration details?

Thanks,

I'm running 3DMark 2.9.6631 basic edition

VM is Windows 7 SP1 guest, 2048Meg Ram.. with VMWare Tools installed.

Host is Mojave 10.14.6

Hi TECH198,

Would you please increase the RAM to 4GB and see if it helps? Per 3DMark, the benchmark needs at least 2GB system memory to run, however, the virtual graphical device also consumes some system memory as the video memory, so it might run out of memory if there is totally 2GB RAM assigned to VM.

Regards,

I raised to 4 Gig and splash screen stays on screen

Hi TECH198,

I'm able to run the 3DMark 2.9.6631 basic edition in Windows 10 guest with 4GB RAM.
