What advanced feature can be added to a virtual machine configuration to reduce memory overhead for 3D graphics enabled VMs?

  1. vga.vgaOnly=TRUE

  2. vga.svgaEnable=FALSE

  3. svgaEnabled=FALSE

  4. svgaDisable=TRUE

The correct answer is: vga.vgaOnly=TRUE

Adding the advanced feature of setting "vga.vgaOnly=TRUE" in a virtual machine configuration specifically targets the use of memory resources linked to 3D graphics rendering. When this setting is enabled, the virtual machine uses the standard VGA graphics adapter instead of the SVGA (Super Video Graphics Array) adapter, which is designed to provide enhanced graphics capabilities, including support for 3D graphics acceleration. By using the basic VGA adapter, the virtual machine significantly reduces memory overhead associated with more complex graphics tasks, which can result in improved performance, especially in memory-constrained environments. This option is advantageous when the additional graphical capabilities provided by the SVGA adapter are not necessary for the intended use of the virtual machine. Therefore, for scenarios where a simple graphical output suffices, this setting can optimize resource allocation while still maintaining the VM's functional requirements.
