Virtual machines use a lot of RAM in Yosemite for creating file caches.

Once I open other applications and run one or two virtual machines the available RAM can go down almost to under 1GB. I have 16GB installed on my system and Yosemite is using about 4-5 GB without any application running. I imagine in virtualised mode it would take even more. Please note it was working fine when i was having Mavericks (have 1366*768 resolution at login screen and desktop both).įrom my experience, Yosemite is using a lot more RAM than 3GB if you run it natively (no emulation). It changes to 1366*768 resolution after login process is complete and desktop is loaded. I am having resolution of 1366*768 but When i am at login screen of Mavericks, i am not having this resolution (some black margins from left and right, looks like 1024*768). But to my disappointment, this improvement in performance (graphics + speed etc) was not too much great as i was having when using OS X Mavericks.ġ.Speedup OS X Yosemite performance (graphics + speed) as i was having before in MavericksĢ. So i added it to login item so that it may start with login of Mac. It suggested to run application called BeamOff (download link available on same site) and add it to startup to disable Beam Sync feature of Mac to improve graphicsīy using option 6 mentioned above, when i launched BeamOff application, it suddenly made graphics smoother. Tried to increase Virtual Graphics Memory size using configuration file of Virtual Machine and adding this line to itĬame across a link on internet link here.

Rpaired file and folder permissions both using Mac OS X's internal utility and using CCleaner application also.These drivers were working well with Mavericks and made it blazing fast in vmware in my previous experience) Tried to install SVGA drivers again (could not find update for OSX Yosemite SVGA drivers here.

I updated latest VMware tools from VMware site.

I cam across many problems on this update. When Yosemite released, I updated it from App Store. It was working fine with VMware Tools installed and SVGA Drivers also.

I was having OSX Mavericks 10.9 in Vmware.
