@k900:0upti.meK900Even if not asked10:53:55
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smitewhat a rabbit hole this whole thing is10:54:18
@k900:0upti.meK900But moving the data to the display is initiated by the display10:54:18
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smiteall just to play some games10:54:24
@k900:0upti.meK900(usually)10:54:27
@k900:0upti.meK900(with VRR it's kind of inverted but also not really)10:54:37
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smiteit also now appears, that regardless of using looking glass, I should first set GPU passthrough via the conventional means10:55:59
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smiteAnd also tweak the KVM for optimized performance10:56:11
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smiteAny tips/mans/blogs on that part?10:56:24
@k900:0upti.meK900Yes10:56:24
@k900:0upti.meK900There isn't really much to tweak10:56:30
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smiteJust give it max cores, memory, GPU passthrough, and I am all set?10:56:50
@k900:0upti.meK900The GPU will be passed through as-is and the rest is probably irrelevant10:56:53
@k900:0upti.meK900Definitely don't give it all of your memory10:56:59
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smiteThere definitely must be something else10:56:58
@k900:0upti.meK900And probably don't give it all of the cores10:57:05
@k900:0upti.meK900Just so you always have resources left for the host system10:57:13
@k900:0upti.meK900In case the guest decides to use up all of them10:57:22
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smiteyeah, that one I know10:58:44
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smiteLike, there is absolutely nothing left of some know-how?10:59:14
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smitewhich involves tinkering with XML configs10:59:26
@crushing-smite:matrix.orgcrushing-smite(guess those are already wrapped by nix options)10:59:36
@k900:0upti.meK900I'm sure you can find like10:59:46

In reply to @k900:0upti.me
There isn't really much to tweak
Hahaha no
10:59:58
@k900:0upti.meK900Reddit threads telling you about the one magic knob that makes everything 0.075% faster trust me bro my uncle works at qemu11:00:02
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgThere's lots to tweak if you want decent CPU performance11:00:11
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgOr a stutter-free experience11:00:22
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgYou need to pin virtual cores to real cores and set up hugepages as a bare minimum11:00:52
@atemu12:matrix.org@atemu12:matrix.orgI'm sure there's more, I have stopped bothering with it at some point because my games all work on Linux these days11:01:26
