Hardware Virtualization, also called Platform, Server virtualization is the virtualization of computers as complete hardware platforms. In this video, we will show you how to enable or disable Hardware Virtualization in Windows 10, via the BIOS settings.While most recent PCs support hardware virtualization, not all computer vendors enable this feature as shipped from the factory. The setting may be called VT-x, AMD-V, SVM, Vanderpool, Intel VT-d or AMD IOMMU if the options are available.
If you are unable to find the Virtualization settings in your BIOS it may mean that your PC does not support it.The emulator needs to run in an "independent" environment separating from the Windows OS, and VT is designed for providing this environment. Enabling VT allows the emulator to get more computer resources to run apps or games. In order to ensure the smoothness of gaming experience on LDPlayer, VT must be enabled.
Enabling VT will not cause any harm to the computer. Sometimes you can't even launch LDPlayer when it is disabled. On the contrary, after VT is enabled, the emulator runs 10 times faster! No more FPS lag/stutter in various games.
