Does win10 vm run games well? (like power hungry games)

[-] AceSLS@ani.social 7 points 5 months ago

With GPU passthrough you can get almost native performance. This requires 2 GPUs though (iGPU as second one should suffice), dunno about the input lag and stability though as I only have one GPU

Without it though? Not even worth trying

Someone in a previous post said they did it with one GPU, using a script to handle the swap when they were done with the VM.

That's definitely possible but would make the host OS unusable while the VM is running afaik. Why not dual boot at that point?

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 1 points 5 months ago

I believe it was brought up after the previous Windows update fuckup, so that's as good a reason as any. Some people don't want to reserve a partition just for Windows but still need/want to be able to use certain programs that aren't yet usable on Linux.

VMs safely contain Windows so it can't do anything to the host, and if you're playing a game on a Windows VM, you're probably not worried about using the host anyway. I've considered it myself, but I've done dual boot, and it's not worth having the training wheels, imo.

I only play games that work native or via proton. I just use windows for the CAD programs that i need to use. I do gpu pass through and native for my host system idk how this would be for gaming tho.

I have heard, though not tried, that GPU passthrough works for those diminishingly few problematic games where a certain anti-cheat is the sticking point.

[-] Covenant@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

I've tested it, and while it does work, there are some issues:

  1. The anti-cheat doesn't work for all games (delta force demo).
  2. Sometimes i had strange sound glitches.
  3. I had to use a second mouse. In certain games where you drag the camera (like Sins of a Solar Empire), the camera spins uncontrollably fast.
  4. It's not as fast or responsive, but good enough.
  5. Game Pass games don't run.

Because of these points, I still keep Windows 10 as a dual boot option.
