GPU Passthrough?
| It seems like the posts I made earlier today disapeared.
I have some experience with GPU passtrough with QEMU. I'm using a single keyboard and mouse but different monitors. You can use one monitor if you have two connections from the GPU i.e. one DVI and one HDMI and just switch between them with the monitors own settings.
There's definetly a performance loss but there's no lag or noticable delay. I seem to get around 15-20% less FPS while gaming.

I would recommend wine for gaming as the performance loss is much lower than with an emulator. Because

OpenGL and DirectX9 (thanks to Gallium 9) games even can perform better in wine on an unixoid than natively in windows. Funfact: Windows 7-10 Users may also have to make use of wine to get old games running:

What's really annoying if games require platform-daemon-shit like blizzard store depending on ie8.

That would be a funny thing indeed.
| >>418201 the performance hit can sometimes be less (I feel like most of the time) if it's not CPU bound because it has full graphics capability and it doesn't need to be converted to opengl

| G/u/rls, what are your experiences with GPU Passthrough on Linux? Are there any bugs? Are there incompatibilities? What are your general experiences? Also, can it be easily pulled off with one keyboard, mouse, and monitor?
Thanks!
