K900 | Even if not asked | 10:53:55 |
crushing-smite | what a rabbit hole this whole thing is | 10:54:18 |
K900 | But moving the data to the display is initiated by the display | 10:54:18 |
crushing-smite | all just to play some games | 10:54:24 |
K900 | (usually) | 10:54:27 |
K900 | (with VRR it's kind of inverted but also not really) | 10:54:37 |
crushing-smite | it also now appears, that regardless of using looking glass, I should first set GPU passthrough via the conventional means | 10:55:59 |
crushing-smite | And also tweak the KVM for optimized performance | 10:56:11 |
crushing-smite | Any tips/mans/blogs on that part? | 10:56:24 |
K900 | Yes | 10:56:24 |
K900 | There isn't really much to tweak | 10:56:30 |
crushing-smite | Just give it max cores, memory, GPU passthrough, and I am all set? | 10:56:50 |
K900 | The GPU will be passed through as-is and the rest is probably irrelevant | 10:56:53 |
K900 | Definitely don't give it all of your memory | 10:56:59 |
crushing-smite | There definitely must be something else | 10:56:58 |
K900 | And probably don't give it all of the cores | 10:57:05 |
K900 | Just so you always have resources left for the host system | 10:57:13 |
K900 | In case the guest decides to use up all of them | 10:57:22 |
crushing-smite | yeah, that one I know | 10:58:44 |
crushing-smite | Like, there is absolutely nothing left of some know-how? | 10:59:14 |
crushing-smite | which involves tinkering with XML configs | 10:59:26 |
crushing-smite | (guess those are already wrapped by nix options) | 10:59:36 |
K900 | I'm sure you can find like | 10:59:46 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | In reply to @k900:0upti.me There isn't really much to tweak Hahaha no | 10:59:58 |
K900 | Reddit threads telling you about the one magic knob that makes everything 0.075% faster trust me bro my uncle works at qemu | 11:00:02 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | There's lots to tweak if you want decent CPU performance | 11:00:11 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | Or a stutter-free experience | 11:00:22 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | You need to pin virtual cores to real cores and set up hugepages as a bare minimum | 11:00:52 |
@atemu12:matrix.org | I'm sure there's more, I have stopped bothering with it at some point because my games all work on Linux these days | 11:01:26 |
crushing-smite | In reply to @atemu12:matrix.org There's lots to tweak if you want decent CPU performance I do | 11:01:30 |
