Just finishing up an install on this config: .encoding = "windows-1252" config.version = "8" virtualHW.version = "16" mks.enable3d = "TRUE" pciBridge0.present = "TRUE" pciBridge4.present = "TRUE" pciBridge4.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort" pciBridge4.functions = "8" pciBridge5.present = "TRUE"...

I have tried a few combinations. Current test machine is EFI, LSI controller, NVME disk, and split vmdk. I also tried BIOS vs EFI, NVME vs SATA and IIRC SAS, and split vs contiguous disk files both pre-allocated and not. I am gearing up to test this exhaustively, any particular combination you...

Late I know, but: I was on fully patched 1909, now on fully patched 2004 (fresh installation directly to 2004 then updates after). Latest version of Workstation at the time, and the latest version after (15.5.5, the update for 2004). No change in performance. Yes, guest tools were installed. As...

Hopefully some of you smart people can figure this out. I have a reasonably powerful PC that I am running a fairly simple Windows 10 VM on. It's just Windows 10, Office, and Slack to isolate all my pandemic work activities. Machine specs: Threadripper 1950X, 128 GB ECC, and 2x1TB 970 EVO+ in...

Any chance your 'server' has IPMI? That's going to be the reliable route. It sounds like you're already aware of the need for active adapter (if you've had it working at all), which ones have you tried that sucked? This is likely to be a case of reliable = expensive, this one for example has...

There are lots of OEM machines that only have a 1x expansion slot. If your options are this or a USB graphics 'card' to add support for a better/extra/whatever monitor which would you prefer? It serves a purpose, it's just not for the type of people who post here. Viper GTS

And we are back. Many thanks Kyle.

I can confirm it does both Netflix 4k and 4k @ 60hz 4:4:4. It has a minor firmware bug that turns on some sharpening/processing when the power is cycled but the effect is subtle and easily remedied. Most won't notice it unless they have exceptional vision at a very close viewing distance...

It looks very square to me. On a nearly full height square (20+ inches) it appeared to be within a mm or so of square (hard to get the measurement by myself...). I then switched to a decent micrometer and measured 139.8 mm on a 500x500 pixel square. No noticeable difference in X vs Y...

I have a new LG 49UB8500 that I picked up on the MicroCenter special. I've been waiting for a ~50" 4k60 single stream below $1,000 so it was time to bite. I'm running it off a GTX 960 on HDMI 2.0 so I'm getting 3840x2160 @ 60hz with full chroma - Life is basically good. I was even pleasantly...

Sounds like you might be referring to BizSpark: http://www.microsoft.com/bizspark/ My (admittedly limited) understanding is that new businesses can get either heavily discounted or free software with the promise that when you succeed you'll start paying for it. Viper GTS

So what does the 'old' VCP5 translate to? VCP5-DV? Viper GTS

Depending on TRIM support (which there isn't in your case) and how the drive manages garbage collection 1/2 second latencies are not at all out of the question for a SSD. I would keep an eye on it, but depending on your use pattern a larger SSD partitioned with more spare area would likely...

VMFS does as of v5. It's up to ~60 TB now. VIper GTS
