Description
Thank you for resolving some of the graphics issues in the VBoxSVGA adapter for the 6.0.12 release. It's getting closer to being usable, but for now I still have to stick with the VBoxVGA adapter to be able to work.
The performance of the VBoxSVGA adapter in scaled (200% autoscale) output on a MacBook Pro with retina display is really bad. When I switch to unscaled 100% output the performance gets better, but then everything becomes unreadable.
The performance issue can easily be seen when having 200% autoscale output on a retina display and then clicking the start menu. The start menu appears slowly with poor performance.
As I switch between multiple monitors (built-in retina and external LoDPI 4k), I would need a working solution for this before you remove the trusty good old VBoxVGA in 6.1.
