You might be interested in looking-glasses [1], it is a pre-configured setup for running your GPU on a Windows VM by hardware passthrough. Small catch is that you need at least 2 video cards, as you need to give up your main one to the VM

Thanks, I’ll check this out. I haven’t had a chance to check play anything recently nor look very deep into vms and passthrough (its on my todo list), but this will likely help a ton :)


It’s “fun” to get it all up and running and for the most part it works well. But I did start to hit issues like if you want a game of counterstrike it steam didn’t like the fact it was running in a VM, etc. halo infinite etc were all in the same boat. Now whenever I rarely get time to have a quick game its either straight on Linux with Proton or something, most steam installs just seem to work these days. Or I just boot into Windows for a session
