VM Super slow without vmtools

[assafnoahkoren]

I have a Windows machine setup according to the README guide.
It works and themida does not recognize its a VM!
But without vmtools the machine runs very slow and laggy.
Once I install vmtools the lags are gone but machine obviously gets recognized as a VM.
Any way to have the performance of a machine with vmtools but without actually installing vmtools?
Is it a drivers problem or something?

Nope. If you want to stay undetected you obviously need to avoid installing VMware stuff. Drivers as well.

In the options without VMTools it says for 3d graphics acceleration you need vmtools. Could this be why it is so slow? It says VMTools installs a graphics driver maybe there is just a standalone one?
