Laggy maOS Big Sur VM

[badubada]

I'm partically new to the vm side on pc. But today I decided to install and try out macOS Big Sur on virtualbox VM and see if i can use it as my daily OS for studying since its more minimal and less clutter.

 

I've assigned 4cores and 8gb of ram to my VM but when I start the VM it's really laggy and can be considered unusable. I'm running a i7 8750H and 16gb of ram so allocating 4cores should not be a problem ? I tried to allocated only 2 cores and 8gb of ram to the vm but it is also laggy and hard to use.

 

I've already enabled hardware acceleration and Vt-X.

 

Besides that, there's no audio output on the vm system so please does anyone has similar encounters

Pretty normal osx is built around gpu acceleration and the virtual box virtual gpu does not do that.

Yeah that's fairly normal. Virtual machines have always had awful performance regardless of what hardware it's running on or what OS is running in the VM. I don't think there is much you can do about it.

 Does VMware have gpu acceleration?

Don't think so. Should just be the regular emulated gpu thing

So could that potentially fix issues related to GPU accelerated stuff? Or games inside a virtual os?

So basically its the gpu thats making this vm laggy ? I've seen other peoples vm and they run fairly smooth even on weaker configurations
