Re: VirtualBox 2D acceleration

No host disturbance whatsoever however. Without the 2d enebled, the refresh runs without problems. FreeBSD amd 64 8G Ram Nvidia driver 256.52 Mario, I can confirm the exact same behavior. I didn't have the guest additions installed earlier on Windows 7 so the Windows Experience Index ran correctly but gave graphics a 1. I installed guest additions in safe mode with the experimental 3d support and then rebooted. Running the test this time closed the VM just as you saw.
