high performance with xen, vmware or virtualbox
- by Marchosius
I was wondering which is the best method to go about if I want to play win based games.
I do not want to go with the dual boot method as this will cost me time to restart, login and run a os to do my work or pass the time, and some of my apps rely on win and my graphics to run. for example Daz3d, Photoshop, Flash etc.
Now I read about HVM(hardware virtual machines) and then I know about the 3D virtualisation of VMware and VirtualBox. How ever the 2 later virtualise the 3D not using the full power of the GPU. So this option wont perform perfect for latest games like D3.
I was wondering if anyone have experience in HVM(like xen if i am not mistaken) and tried something similar to access the full power of the GPU and successfully run newer games and other products relying on the GPU?
Will be the first time setting up a HVM, no experience in this so don't know what to expect.
This will help a lot as I do not want to revert back to win or as mentioned do dual boot.
