Extremely slow graphics performance (Player: 14.1, Host: Win10, Guest: Ubuntu 20.04)

Hi,

 

my freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04 VM under VMWare Workstation Player 14.1 running on Windows 10 suffers from ridiculously slow graphics performance.

For comparison, my old Ubuntu 16.04 VM (which I had originally installed under VMWare 12.x and has kept the same format) works much better:

 

OLD Ubuntu 16.04:

$ vmware-toolbox-cmd -v

10.2.0.1608 (build-7253323)

$ x11perf -all

  700000000 reps @   0.0000 msec (157000000.0/sec): Dot

NEW Ubuntu 20.04:

$ vmware-toolbox-cmd -v

10.2.5.8049 (build-8068393)

$ x11perf -all

   30000000 reps @   0.0002 msec (4140000.0/sec): Dot

I remember having the same issue with the old machine when I first installed it 4 years ago, but I can't remember what I had to do to get this fixed, perhaps it was the "Accelerate 3D graphics" flag but I can't be sure after all these years.

Accelerate 3D graphics checkbox is ticked on both machines, and vmware-tools is installed on both.

 

Any ideas what I might be missing?

Thank you!
