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!
This is the path I got down to few years ago and not turning back.
I would love to use Proton for gaming in Linux, but I play mostly online FPS, and most do not work. Apart from that, a VM offers more advantages, like hiding your personal information (just my Steam account in Windows), easy full system backup, about 95% performance compared to bare metal, and no reboots if you have two VGAs (one can be the CPU’s iGPU) and a monitor with two inputs (2xDP, 2xHDMI, DP&HDMI, etc).
