If you really do next time don't buy a blobbed and ME'ed PC along with a graphics card from the anti-freedom nvidia that actively prevents the development of the nouveau open source drivers (vs amd making their own) and adds "bugs" to prevent people from using IOMMU-GFX with geforce cards (which wasted me 4 hours when I had a geforce card) > but i would also like to game (mainly rainbow six siege and pubg). Still possible. I play the latest games at max settings in a VM with my libreboot firmware KGPE-D16 with a RX580 (must get an 8gb+ gfx card) and 6328 cpu (with a gpu bottleneck) The KCMA-D8 and KGPE-D16 server/workstation boards work well with qubes 4.0 and they support coreboot-libre+libreboot, OpenBMC[1] and of course IOMMU-GFX They even theoretically support Crossfire xDMA in a VM, one of the cool things that can be done is to normally use crossfire but if a friend comes over assign the second graphics card to another VM so you can game at the same time on the same machine. While computing freedom is dead on x86 (new hardware is not owner controlled) some day there will be games ported to POWER - already people with the owner controlled libre-firmware TALOS 2 are playing multiplayer games together on linux. People said there would never be linux gaming - now many AAA games support linux native! [1](the facebook version of OpenBMC not the better ibm version found on the OpenPOWER machines like the talos 2 but still quite usable for secure owner controlled foss lights out remote access) note the kcma-d8 does not come with the module required to install openbmc it must be purchased separately. > Is my hardware even compatible? No idea maybe, most consumer boards lack IOMMU support or it is broken. > Is it possible to game in windows 10 vm without sacrificing performance too > much? Sure if done right it is not noticeable (ie: no stuttering or w/e) and you only lose 1-3 FPS. > If someone has done this please post your experience and tutorial. I suggest reading the tutorials and information on the xen wiki or for kvm/qemu on the vfio blog. (qubes uses xen) I would suggest however gaming in a VM on a separate computer rather than your qubes computer for performance, security and the fact that it is harder to get it working on qubes apparently. If you have any difficult questions you can't find the answer to anywhere else let me know - I enjoy answering the hard questions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
