This is somewhat OT but with the right setup it is possible to run Windows games (even AAA titles) under a VM with VFIO graphics pass- through. I've been doing this for a couple of years now with quite a bit of success. You need an extra GPU and your CPU, motherboard and BIOS all have to support it, but it can be done. Here's a Quora post I wrote about it: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-possible-to-run-all-Windows-games-on-Fedora-Linux There is also an interesting recent development from Steam, where they're developing mods to Wine to support DirectX over Vulcan: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/08/valves-steam-play-uses-vulkan-to-bring-more-windows-games-to-linux/ I've yet to try it out but it looks positive. Now back to our regularly-scheduled programming. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
