>Is the GPU passthrough legit?
Yes.

>What kind of performance hit do you take?
Unless you're completely autistic or have fairly outdated hardware, you'll probably not even notice it.

how does this gpu passthrough meme I keep hearing about work

if it does what the meme says it does, why is it not just a built in feature to the vm software?

>probably
what did he mean by this

>>62376084
it is not a meme
it works
only problem you will have is shit audio
the sound becomes choppy, you will hear popping sounds etc even if you turn on msi or not in both case same will happen
not to mention if you want to use mic for your gaves you are totally fucked
only acceptable solution for me was to set up a ts3 server on host with opus music codec then connect both host and guest to this ts3 server, while on the guest os I used virtual audio cable. One cable for audio input one cable for audio output and set the input to output and the input to output in ts3
Or you can buy an usb headset and pci passtrough an usb root hub to the guest, passing the usb headset will cause same shit audio quality or you can buy a bluetooth adapter and a bluetooth stereo headset or a separate audio card which will be a lottery to get into the right iommu group

I did it, I use it daily. I have noticed 0 performance decrease in GPU but CPU under performs. This will cause lag in CPU heavy games like overwatch if you're using other programs at the same time in windows.

Idk what the fuck >>62376869 is on about. I've never has an issue with audio at all, input or output. Iommu groups though can cause problems, he's right about that.

I highly recommend windows ltsb for it. I followed https://youtu.be/dsDUtzMkxFk this video to set it up. It was more or less painless. Read the forum post in the description too because it has a couple updates that can literally save you recompiling the kernel because of aforementioned iommu probs.

Questions welcome <3

It is beyond the grasp of a portable vm program like virtualbox because it uses a whole kernel module to hold on to your PCI devices until virtio asks for them. KVMs and PCI passthrough are less portable.

You had working audio and microphone out of the box? What distro were you using?
