While it is certainly possible to play games with modest hardware requirements under a virt and still have acceptable performance, games with high hardware requirements running at high frame rates, at high resolutions, and maxed out display settings are going to run much more slowly under a virt than they will on Win10 running natively on the same hardware. Most people who spend the kind of money needed to buy such a system will not be satisfied with the performance provided by a virtual machine. If the reasons for this are not obvious to you, take it as an opportunity to learn about how virtualization works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
