    Err OK. I passthrough a card to each, switch with KVM. Its like having 2 native machines. According to you I have loads of issues, I guess I just haven’t found them yet? What should I be giving in to?

    This is really weird,

    ps, I sometimes game on either system, still can’t tell any performance difference from when it was bare metal. I guess I could be super lucky considering all those issues I should be having. Or maybe things aren’t quite as dramatic as you’ve portrayed them

      How are you getting your video back into the main system? Some kind of remote desktop protocol? That adds delay. Unless your VM is attached to e dedicated screen you’ll have issues there.

        The host is headless, no video output. The 2 VMs have a GPU passed directly through vfio, so there is no additional delay. Both GPUs connect to the same 2 monitors and USB by a KVM, so its one button press to flip between systems. Though I often run the cad software over RDP, as a little extra latency when using that doesn’t bother me.
