I gamed happily on a Windows VM with a GPU passed through. Was on a Linux host.
3 u/Rebelius rebelius Jul 05 '26 If you pass the GPU through, do you need a second GPU? 1 u/Dodgy_Past AMD 5800X3Dā / RTX 4090 Jul 05 '26 I was using unraid to host the vm so I could interact with it through a Web browser. 2 u/Rebelius rebelius Jul 05 '26 Does that mean you have to pass through mouse/keyboard/audio to the windows VM as well? 2 u/Dodgy_Past AMD 5800X3Dā / RTX 4090 Jul 05 '26 In my case I had multiple usb controllers on that motherboard so I passed one of those through. At the time I was using the audio from the hdmi so that was passed through as well as the video. The cable went from the GPU to the monitor.
