Hi, I recently tried to spin up a few windows gaming VMs in an attempt to merge my hardware a bit.
My setup is as follows:
- nvidia gpu that I pass through to some VMs (one booted at a time ofcourse)
- half my cores are isolated for gaming VMs only
- cores are pinned to my VMs, no cpu pinning on my docker containers (seems to work)
- sunshine for streaming (moonlight for client)
- itsmikethetech virtual display driver to make my gaming VMs headless (https://github.com/itsmikethetech/Virtual-Display-Driver)
It is working, but I do have some issues:
- for some reason, booting my VMs that utilize the gpu takes a very long time (time between starting the VM and unraid reporting it is started)
- My framerates are still a big chunk lower than bare metal (about 50% lower), I wonder if this is normal or if a certain setting in unraid is unoptimized for gaming VM use
Anyone who has encountered these problems before?
