direct i/o is so you can allocate complete acutal components to a virtual computers like for example when you have 4 gpus you can give 3 vm's actual gpus to game on or give it an entire usb controller

Hi.

So I have seen a feature called VT-x for directed I/O on some Intel CPUs. What exactly is it? Thanks.

So if I had a GTX660, my VM would see that as a 660 and GeForce Experience would install?

technicly yes but you would also need a gpu for the actual host to use and you have to run a hypervisor

I have 2 i3-550s which have VT-d but I don't really run VMs on them (not enough RAM). I use my laptop with an AMD A8-4500M.
