- MegaDeKay 3y agoI've run Windows XP under QEmu / KVM with GPU passthrough of an old nVidia NVS300 graphics card. Running an old nVidia driver, I had perfect 3D acceleration and HDMI sound. A good option if the OP has the right bits lying around, though not the most straightforward.
- bravetraveler 3y agoFrom the top of my head, virtio-gpu with KVM can also do acceleration. Not great support in Windows guests, though A peer comment mentions GPU passthrough, that performs nicely but the setup is a burden. Can share tips for anyone interested, this is a good start: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/QEMU/Guest_graphics_acceleration https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/QEMU/Guest_graphics_acceler...
- lostmsu 3y agoFallout 3 from Steam seems to work fine on mine Win 11.
- blooalien 3y agoI run Fallout 3 on modern variants of Linux with Valve's Proton (a WINE fork) using "Heroic Game Launcher" (an Epic game store front-end) just fine as well. Because it's running fine in Proton, I assume if I owned the game on Steam, the same would hold true there for me as well.
