VMs usually the graphics sucks. this can be worked around but usually entails modifying BIOS settings and fiddly configuration in the VM app. it is even possible to partition off the video card to dedicate it to a VM, but it was difficult to get it to play nice. with that tool i was able to get Windows to use the GPU dedicated.

reminds me, this might be a good way for me to get around the problem of AMD ROCm GPU compute setup. with the ... i forget the name of the thing for partitioning PCI-express devices, enabled, you can then use the dedicated GPU for a windows or other OS installation even have it run on a separate screen. that was another hassle with it, multi monitor setups can be a real pain for this kind of case. unless you get a hardware switcher for the displays.

I'll be running 3 screens, so that might be an issue with VMs. This laptop just has Intel graphics, so nothing special at all, but at least I don't need to worry about nvidia drivers this time.

yeah, intel graphics are really simple and just work. they just are shit slow for 3d.
