Re: [qubes-users] Re: I found a good working alternative to pci video passthrough for owners of separate windows gaming PC w/ modern nvidia video card

Thank you for the informative reply. I have since learned that gaming on one PC 
while streaming from another is a thing.  There are even PC cases made to house 
two separate motherboards, power supplies, etc for this purpose.  I still don’t 
understand why anyone would want to do this, gamers have been streaming just 
fine from their gaming rigs for years. I suppose a dual system could be useful 
against ddos and other attacks.

Low latency game streaming is fantastic and doesn't need a GPU on the

a great open source project that allows near zero latency game streaming
over lan and internet (internet streaming requires a vpn and reducing
video quality but is still very functional).



If I would have known this I wouldn't have wasted so much time working
on video pci passthrough setup.  Hopefully this post will help more
people have their cake and eat it too as I have.

I guess I'm missing a major point.  Why would one want to game on Qubes?


Nice writeup, Neovalis!

Jrsmiley, he's not gaming "on" Qubes exactly. He's using a separate PC 
running Windows to act as a game server, then remote 
controlling/streaming it from his Qubes PC. This allows someone to keep 
only one good set of monitors & peripherals. It's also a good way to 
separate the PCs for security purposes.


On the other hand, some people like to have the ability to game on a 
Windows HVM on Qubes so that Windows intentionally does not have direct 
hardware access except to passed-through devices. This is also for 
security purposes, and/or can be less expensive than purchasing two 
separate systems.
