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)

@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.

I've never used it but this one seems like the most complete currently, and it'll tell you which tests fail.

It's not... easy but it's also not 20 pages difficult, unless you wanna do sinlge GPU passtrough, then that's black magic.

This along with the arch wiki's page on GPU passtrough should be enough to get you setup

E: Pro tip - pay close attention to section 2.3 Gotchas in the arch wiki, this sh!t had me stuck for a while on my system

@brian I have used it and with flyff at least the performance was far insuperior to kvm/qemu.

Single GPU isn't substantially harder than 2GPU pass through, that is what I have done, but it does require support by the UEFI bios and the GPU and not all support it.

The most random mention of Flyff I have seen yet, as long as you mean the game.

@Sheldan Yes I am referring to the game, back when I had tried on vmware it was still the main commercial one that I was playing, I have since moved to Insanity Flyff. One of those minor continuities in my life.

I mean, I hope they keep doing that because Valorant sucks. Everything about it is boring and 20 bucks for one gun wrap is outrageous. The rootkit is invasion of privacy I don't want to reboot just to play. The rounds go on for so long people just get bored and start griefing... If you leave early the game punishes you hard. There are plenty of better games to play. Not to mention it's only KB/M no cross play no ability for players with disabilities. Perfect for conservatives who only care about themselves like to have players begging to drop their wrapped guns
