4k resolution for Windows VM

User Support
#1

I’m running 3840x2160 and have run

qvm-features dom0 gui-videoram-min $(xrandr --verbose | grep "Screen 0" | sed -e 's/.*current //' -e 's/\,.*//' | awk '{print $1*$3*4/1024}')

My Windows 2019 server vm was deployed with GitHub - elliotkillick/qvm-create-windows-qube: Spin up new Windows qubes quickly, effortlessly and securely on Qubes OS

Connecting to the GUI, windows gives me a max res of 2560x1600 (assume that’s a generic VGA driver and Qubes Windows Tools isn’t maintained).

I’m connecting via RDP to use the full resolution but wonder if there’s a performance penalty to doing that, or a better way? Thanks.

I have problems full screening VLC with a 3440x1440 ultra wide monitor. Goes black when i try fullscreen.
Just displaying a desktop shouldnt be that GPU intensive.
