You get near native performance in a VM, the downside being it's a little tricky to set up and you won't be able to use your 970 in Linux.
- shmerl 9y agoNot really, I'm not interested in running Windows. I do run some Linux guest VMs on Linux host, mostly for building purposes, in order not to mess up the main system :) And passthrough itself is a interesting method of course. Now there is also SR-IOV coming which would allow using the same GPU for virtualization more effectively.
- Accacin 9y agoThat's fair enough. I'm like you in that I currently dual-boot but most of my gaming time is spent playing Dota 2 so I rarely need Windows. SR-IOV seems to be very interesting!
