I am not speaking about native linux gaming. Mesa is NOT enough at all. propriety is needed. But that's not the subject. I am speaking about GPU passthrough. Is ATi better supported by Xen or KVM passthrough than nvidia. On May 3, 2014 8:49 PM, "Laurent Carlier" <lordheavym@gmail.com> wrote:

as they are not available from the official repository. Occasionally an update will break the driver and I have to recompile the kernel module. Other then that, the quality of the drivers is OK. Games run noticeably smoother in Windows than under Linux, I don't know if that's a driver issue or games/engine not being optimized under Linux.
ATI cards are very well supported on Arch, crappy software not!
Mesa drivers are enough to play games under linux, have less pain with kernel or xserver upgrades.

I am not speaking about native linux gaming. (Mesa is NOT enough at all. propriety is needed, unless you play cs 1.6. But that's not the subject.) I am speaking about GPU passthrough. Is ATi better supported by Xen or KVM *GPU passthrough* than nvidia. Linux is not involved at all. The "good" card will be passed to windows through one of the two virtualization solutions.
