Virtualbox Ubuntu 16.04 Guest - 3D Acceleration Pixel Flickering
up vote

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 guest on a Windows 10 host with VirtualBox 5.2.4. I have an Nvidia GTX 1050 graphic card.
I've followed all the necessary steps to enable 3D acceleration as in here, and everything seems to have worked correctly, if it wasn't for a constant pixel flickering affecting transparencies. The flickering also affects the upper bar randomly. Here is a screenshot:
The system seems to run a bit faster, and it's SORT of usable, but the glitch is very annoying. The solution given for this other problem didn't help.
What else can I try?

After months I found out that the solution for me was to make Virtual Box use the NVidia graphic card instead of the integrated intel one!!

I had the same issue as you after enabling 3D acceleration but the solution (at least for me) is in this article, at the very end.
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager && ccsm
Go to OpenGL and untick Framebuffer Object. Also, you might want to disable effects, such as fading windows, animations and window decoration.
Hope that this will do the trick for you too.

This 'almost' worked, it removed many glitches, but there still some artifacts from time to time, thanks anyway!

This solved the problem for some version. But unfortunately the problem reappeared after upgrade to virtualbox 5.2.12 :(
