I used to use one for games.
I had a GPU (even two in SLi with hacked drivers at one point) passed through to the VM and used it for Windows / games (with a Linux host).
I've abandoned it since gaming on Linux itself has been proving alright
- jterrys 4y agoI still have my setup in case friends want to play multiplayer games that are sadly behind anti-cheat. Was a bit annoying to set up but otherwise a fun exercise and good bragging rights. I use Linux as my main operating system now, the only drawback is that there's no audio when I stream through discord.
- bravetraveler 4y agoOh definitely, anti-cheat/multiplayer games still benefit from it. I've been toying with the idea of setting this up again -- I still have the highly-tuned XML definition for libvirt. I just ran out of PCI-e slots and I'm down to one beefy GPU -- having a lower power one for the host head is nice. I actually had some success bypassing some anti-VM anticheats -- particularly, ESEA. Valorant was the only one I 'gave up' on, the usual approaches didn't work and having not played it, wasn't really worth the investment.
- lordofgibbons 4y agoYeah, browser based audio capture with discord and zoom have been the biggest pain point of my linux desktop usage.
