Bad Performance with High-End Graphics and Hyper-V

If you have tried to mix Hyper-V and high end 3D graphics (in the parent partition - of course) you have probably noticed that the performance is bad.  Unfortunately - for the time being - the answer to this problem is that Hyper-V has not been designed to be used on systems running high-end graphics. 

It has been designed to be used for server consolidation.

However - we have just published a KB article (https://support.microsoft.com/kb/961661) that explains why this happens.  If you need to run Hyper-V on such systems your best option is to either:

  1. Put a lower end video card in your server
    -or-
  2. Use the standard SVGA driver

Cheers,
Ben

    Is there any news on if this has been resolved in Hyper-V for Server 2008 R2 (Of which the Beta just arrived). Or is it intended to always remain a problem for Hyper-V based hosts?

    Norbert - There are no immediate plans for this. Sickboy - This issue is not addressed in the R2 beta Cheers, Ben

    Thanks for the reply. I hope it will be addressed. Windows is the only real Gaming OS, and Hyper-V is the Virtualization flagship for this OS, though only available for Server. In my case, I use a single powerful machine for Hyper-V, Development and Gaming. Performance is currently horrible, even with GTX280.

    I find this situation pretty close to disastrous. This makes one of three primary uses of Windows Server 2008 (Development workstation) utterly unusable. Have fun developing a snazzy looking WPF client side application on server 2008 with the SVGA driver. This issue needs to be resolved.

    You can use windows xp x64 drivers (with modding them by proper utility from drivers heaven site) and the issue will gone. However 2008 R2 will not accept xp drivers any longer :-(

    Thanks for the hint on XP X64 drivers. This would mean missing DirectX 10, though that's not really a big loss atm. I will look into it.

    The thing I do not get, is why in my Toshiba A505-S6033 (with an Nvidia GeForce 310M and i7 processor) and with HyperV installed, everything seems to be working fine (I did had to install KB975530 because I had some BSOD problems, but after that, performance is as good as when the laptop had Windows 7) Is there an explanation for this?  Why is my laptop not affected by KB961661) ?
