You have to log into your virtual machine and install the guest computer extras. This allows you to enable 3D acceleration. However, you don't get support past like DX 8.1 or something like that. So you can render Open GL desktops but it isn't meant to play games really.

Yeahhh, DX9 is what I am looking for

Still virtual machine quite handy sometimes. I've been reading forums and there is no way that your graphics card can be run in a virtual machine, and it will never be able to do that. It emulates a different graphics card.

Yes, VirtualBox allows you to allocate a certain amount of Vram, Ram, Cores, etc..

^^^ Yes Exactly but, I still would stick with VirtualBox. VirtualBox seems like it is moving forward alot faster than VPC is.
