Like the title says, what’s the main difference in performance between gaming on a windows VM with gpu passthrough on linux vs windows installed the usual way on bare metal? Talking about steam games and not online multiplayer with anti-cheat.

Because i would really like to get rid of my windows dual boot but for the moment i don’t want to get into linux gaming with proton etc…

Also, i would use this VM for other windows-exclusive softwares.

Thank you in advance!

    I have been doing exactly what your scenario is for three years now and I have no intention of looking back.

    It does suck though, because lots of anti-cheat now see a VM as instant ban.

    Unless you have a use case like me, where I host multiple gaming VMs for multiple people; I would just stick with Linux bare-metal.
