Hyper-V on Windows 10, Linux and Graphics card passthrough

[TonyStark]

Hello glorious-PC-master race ! I've stumbled upon something here and I would like ot hear your opinion or even a solution to the following.

I've installed Linux Mint on Windows 10 Enter-for-prize (Enterprise) Hyper-V. Created a brand new VM and all good to go. The only issue I'm facing is that there is no hardware video acceleration on the VM. Any thoughts ? (Running 64 bit both Host and Guest OS).

here are my thoughts:

 

use linux as the host and windows as the guest with a GPU passed through to it

Give this a read.  You need specific hardware for GPU passthrough.

Hi, 

This is the method I followed and after a few days I got it working : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768

If anything, you should run it the other way around.  Linux as host, Windows in the VM.

Basically I like Windows as a host OS, since I like my games on windows better. The conclusion was to use VMWare as a solution that has far more options and tweaks than Hyper-V. And Since I have dedicated servers for my work I don't need to run VMs on Hyper-V (which I've tested on Windows 2012 and it rocks...with proper hardware of course). Anyhow, I've read your posts and the links provided. Thank you all for your time.
