It seems that its technically possible to pass a notebook dGPU into a VM but in practice very few seem to be able to do it and projects like this don't appear to be very interested in making that a turn key operation. I estimate that its just too many niches coming together for it to be easy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I've had no success passing through a pci device to a windows hvm. But it give it a shot and try. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Im more talking about a Windows VM here. Is it enough to pass through a GPU in the devices tab of the settings or is there anything else that should be done? And how would it be performance-wise overall? Especially with Windows 8+ cause theres no official Qubes Tools Support there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I game on steam on a barebones debian system. cs:go and dota2 are some supported games. Some games are playable with play onlinux scripts using wine.But in Qubes-os vms do not have 3d graphics rendering, so you can't really game in qubes. It might be possible to pasthrough your gpu to a vm, but this is not officially supported and not too many people have been sucessful. On another note and imo, playing online games defeats any security you have every time. There is no such thing as security on your machine if gaming online. Especially when your gpu gets infected. Gaming online is where most cyber criminals get started. They are the most hacked networks. It is where Edward Snowden learned to hack people, Sabu, Kim Dotcom was notorious in q2. Online gaming communities, where only hackers are left playing, are as dangerous as irc or the dark web. They don't just want to ragequite you ddos the game offline and steal your credit cards, they want to destroy your hardware. Especially if you are not one of them (Russian) Some argue if you have a separate gpu that is isolated from dom0 and only loads in a vm then maybe this would be safe. But I still have my doubts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

All depends on what game you are referring to, and what it requires processor and RAM wise, and the speed it requires to pass information through.
