Hello,
I've installed a DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 6 - DS918+ - on a bare metal server and it works perfectly with exception of an NVMe SDD.
But there is a problem with VM Machines that I can't find a solution to: the graphics performance in Virtual Windows Machines is piss poor...
The problem seems to be that there is no graphics acceleration whatsoever in Win7 or Win10 virtual machines. Tried some very basic games (e.g. a simple Tetris), and some are telling me that the graphics are relying on software only.
Now I've already replaced the basic Microsoft drivers with up to date VirtIO driver (qxldod from virtio-win-0.1.141.iso), but there is no improvement. I've tried to freshly reinstall Win10 in the VM - no improvement. But in comparison, with a VMWare12 Virtual Win7 or Win10 Machine on a Win10 host on my desktop computer, the graphics performance is far better.
Just to be clear, I don't expect to do 3D Shooters in a DSM VM. But when even some Internet pages show slow scrolling, there seems to be something wrong.
Or do I have to migrate DSM to ESXi to solve that? There are no related parameters in the Virtual Machine Manager, as far as I recognized, but I hope I missed something.
Here's some of my server hardware (which is even faster than my 6year old desktop(!), apart from the missing graphics card...).
Motherboard: ASUS P11C-I (Mini-ITX)
Chipset: Intel C242
CPU: Intel Core i3-8100 (Socket 1151v2) 4x 3.60GHz
RAM: 2x 8GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4-2400 DIMM CL15 (running as DDR4-2100 according to BIOS)
Integrated NIC: 2x Gb LAN (Intel I210-AT)
I'd be very grateful for any useful insights, so thanks in advance!!!
