Windows virtual machine as a backup if needed ๐Ÿ‘

How is your performance on windows VM? Also specs for reference would be amazing!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I havent gamed on it yet but it is pretty responsive. My specs are nvidia geforce rtx3060 and amd ryzen 7. Also i am using KVM as the hypervisor since it is type 1 which means better performance and safety overall.

That's a sweet setup, I'd like to know about the gaming performance when you finally get a chance!

Hopefully you get near bare metal performance, do you do something like limit over processes or provision extra resources when you load the VM?

In regards to the VM, you can alucate as much ram and cpu power to it to make it performe better if needed (when setting up and you can also adjust it afterwards, at least in virtmanager (KVM) ). And there is an aspect I haven't really touched but heard that it improved performance which is gpu passthrough.

(I dont really limit processes and stuff, just simple alucation and configuration)

In case you are interested in setting up KVM, I am going to leave a video for you to watch, also I have found the gpu passthrough video if you are interested as well
