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!

    Using KVM with GPU passthrough has been very pleasant after the pain of the initial setup. I haven’t noticed any performance difference at all (maybe because my hardware is good / recent) and have been able to play every game except Valorant + Tarkov.
