Exactly. The GPU can only be used by the guest if it's passed through and blacklisted on the host boot line. It also depends on hardware support for VT-d (Intel) or AMD-Vi (AMD). Note that VT-x is not enough. It's only worth it if you really need to use the GPU under the guest system. I used to do it for Windows gaming, but haven't bothered recently as the Proton library is very effective. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
