Gaming in Proxmox VM, feasible?

Linux@lemmy.ml – 56 points – 1 years ago

I'm considering to switch to Proxmox for my main PC, run a Windows VM on top and passthrough the GPU to play games. However, I heard anti-cheates aren't that friendly to VMs. Had anyone tried this? Thanks.

How can you boot natively to a proxmox VM? I'm guessing you'd have to keep a whole separate physical drive and pass through the whole drive to the windows VM or boot to that drive natively?

Maybe they mean they will dual boot between windows and a hypervisor? I've never considered if that's a possibility.

Yeah, I mean being able to boot either into proxmox or windows. But in proxmox, I can also open that windows install as a VM.

Some details on how it should work are here (apologies for the reddit link): https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/aejdqk/kvm_importuse_existing_windows_install_on_disk/edqtmvb/
