Is there an easy way of having a vm with gpu pass through to play windows games ?
Is there an easy way of having a vm with gpu pass through to play windows games ?
Basically the title. I’ve only ever seen huge 20 page guides on how to make it work. Is there an easy way?
Specifically on Debian or Arch with a laptop with two gpus (zephyrus g14)

Easy way to get yourself banned in online games just an FYI. Most online games will detect and ban virtual machines now since they've become commonplace in cheat/hack communities.
Depends on the game. Apex, Riot, ubisoft, and EA all ban vm players. A list of other companies do as well.
@Ptsf Haven't played any of those. Anyway, there is a way to edit your xml to fake the machine id.
machine id isn't necessarily the important part. anticheat and vm detection check a lot of different heuristics incl hard to defend against things like timing attacks on particular cpu instructions. there's a handful of open source versions if you're curious
@brian To be honest, until and unless it becomes a problem for me, not really. KVM has the host CPU executing the VM instructions so timing on CPU instructions should product identical results. I have the VM setup as CPU and GPU pass through.
even with cpu passthrough some things are still emulated. you can run a vm detector and see for yourself what tests fail.
it may not affect your games but others should still be careful since it is a real issue, and people do get banned for it.
@brian Ok, just for kicks tell me where I can get this.
