Hi, I installed last week a Windows 10 guest on my flaming new Skylake build, on top of my Arch Linux install. After doing some reading, I understood I had to disable any Hyper-V enlightment and make KVM run in 'hidden' mode, so my Nvidia drivers wouldn't shut down.
However, just for the curiosity, I googled for a while and found the last version that didn't check for KVM presence and tested the different performance with and without Hyper-V enlightments: Oddly, Unigine benchmark doesn't show almost *any* performance gain, but with several games, the difference can be as big as 50% in heavily loaded scenarios. My guess on this games that rely more on the GPU won't see much improvements, but games that also use I/O and CPU extensively will see a big improvement. Any idea what other reasons there could be? I also read in a forum (https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?top ic=43824.0) that Alex Williamson is working on a QEMU patch to allow Windows guests to use Hyper-V enlightments without Nvidia beeing able to detect is. Is this true?. Where could I follow the development / test it? _______________________________________________ vfio-users mailing list vfio-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users
