Running virtualised Windows for games
by mina86 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#567Y5)
As I'm about to refresh my desktop, I've decided to look into running Windows in a virtual machine for the purpose of playing games. Is there anything on the hardware side that I should be aware of?
I'm set on AMD and currently leaning towards Ryzen 7 3800X on motherboard with X570 chipset. From what I understand, that configuration supports AMD-V and AMD-Vi which is all I really need. Is that accurate? Is there something else I should be looking at?
Lastly, with graphic card passed through, how practical the setup would be without host Linux not having access to the graphics card? Should I look into APU or second GPU? Does anyone have experience with such setup?
And hints and pointers would be appreciated.
