How goes vt-d gaming? I was investigating if it was possible to pass through the igpu using VMware but never could get a straight answer.



I've had two problems: crackling audio and NVIDIA's driver coming up with strange errors.

the former was fixed by buying a cheap PCI-E soundcard and passing it through (line-in'ed to the primary soundcard), and the latter by twiddling some QEMU flags, as NVIDIA want you to buy the $4000 quadro... my next card will be AMD, who don't do this sort of BS.

now it's all sorted it works like a dream, you wouldn't know it's in a VM.


Cool. Do you have a writeup of your setup somewhere? Maybe I'll investigate this more over Christmas break.
