# 3D Acceleration

Boxes now gives you the ability to enable or disable 3D acceleration for your VMs if both guest and host support it. This should allow you to improve the performance of your everyday graphic-hungry applications and games. It uses Virgil to create a virtual 3D capable graphics card for your QEMU virtual machines.

Currently only Linux guests support 3D acceleration.

# To enable 3D Acceleration in a box:

Right-click on the box in the collection view and select Preferences, or click the menu (settings) button in the header bar and select Preferences.

The Preferences view opens, with the Resources tab selected by default.

If 3D Acceleration is supported, the 3D Acceleration switch would appear here. By default, it is disabled. To enable 3D Acceleration, simply toggle the switch next to it to ON.

When you enable 3D Acceleration for a virtual machine that is already running, the changes apply after you restart the box.
