Hello /g/, I am currently running Ubuntu in a virtual machine

Why on earth do you need a bunch of VRAM in your virtual machine?
That shit isn't going to make it faster.

Are you confused between vram and ram by chance ?

>>55956324
Because I want all the animations to run smoothly on my high res monitor.

>>55956364
no, I want more vram (video ram)

You can't, if you want to use a GPU use passthrough, not only for games but I think also for CUDA/OpenCL.

If you don't need it to be FOSS, I'm pretty sure VMware will let you.

get a real hypervisor

What's passthrough? How do you configure that?

The nicest part about Ubuntu is that it makes it really easy to set up a partition for it alongside your other operating system.
Just install it for full hardware functionality instead of running it on a vm

Yes.

>>55957218
pretty amazing how many people here even bother with type 2 hypervisors but they're usually the only thing brought up

>>55956375
that's ubuntu's fault for not being setup to run well in vbox
