VM version 11 vSGA performance issues?

Is anyone seeing reduced 3D application performance when using VM version 11 VMs configured for vSGA?

Our production vSGA VMs when run with VM version 9 and 10 run very well, however when we upgrade the vSGA VM to ver 11 and utilize the new VRAM limits (configured for 1024MB) we see FPS drop and random stuttering when rotating 3D models.  Running the same tests on other vSGA VMs with ver 9 and 10 there are no issues (very smooth rotations and good FPS rate).  All vSGA VMs are clones of each other and running off the same host.  We have all the performance tweaks in place (reg settings...  i.e. maxappframerate, etc..) and are using a K2 GPU.  Next test is to reduce the VRAM setting back down to 512MB on the ver 11 VM and see if the behavior changes. 

Regards,

Nathan

Just an update...  this issue doesn't appear related to how much VRAM you assign.  I configured different levels of VRAM (128, 256, 512) and all config variations exhibit the same issue.  It looks directly related to VM version 11.  Anyone else see this?
